Linux Emporium comes to Brum

--- Press Release ----
Linux Emporium comes to Brum!

Steve Whitehouse, who has been running the well known Linux Emporium for 
the past two years has transferred the business to Thyme Software Ltd, 
in a seamless move facilitated by Steve's involvement in training the 
people at Thyme.

John Pinner, Managing Director of Thyme Software: “At Thyme we have 
great plans for expanding the repertoire of the Linux Emporium, adding 
appropriate hardware and applications to its list offerings, plus a lot 
of other great stuff besides, to build on its role as the one-stop 
buy-on-line shop for everything Linux.”

Pinner is perhaps best known as the founder of Clockwork Software 
Systems, one of the leading UK Open Source software developers and a 
major contributor to local, national and international Open Source 
community activities, ranging from local LUGs to PyCon and many points 
between. Clockwork will continue under Pinner's stewardship as an 
distinct entity under the Thyme Software umbrella from early next year.

“We recognise that customers are the bedrock of any business, and the 
Linux Emporium will be looking to consult the people who use it about 
the products and services they want to see it providing,” said Pinner; 
“We know that fulfilling their needs is our key to success.”
