Great ok getting some feedback here now. I understand people are busy
and
thats no problem at all. What I can do for those that are interested in what
is going on at meetings is capture an audio feed and perhaps make some sort
of podcast people can grab and listen to??
I used to take notes, but audio would be awesome.
What sort of place do people want top meet at? I dont drink myself but am
willing to talk venues and maybe give them a ring and sort something out
before hand so things are a bit smoother.
Pubs are ok, but I dont know how many, if any under 18/21's there are.
I remember having meetings in Keele Uni, they were good because the
rooms had some good facilities.
Irc meetings: I agree they are good. I am waiting for a switch and
some
network cable to finish converting my loft to a lab. I had been meaning to
setup an irc bot to capture a feed and process it again putting it onto the
site and intergrating irc more into the group. It's all work in progess and
I'll try to roll that out asap.
If anyone wants to jump in and help (I've not organised anything like this
before so any tips pointers etc would be brill!)
Well, no one person has to organise anything, it's a group, so we
could get together and plan on the list, ask around to see if we can
get some form of centralised venue that we can use more than once.
I setup a rudimentary StaffsLUG map of members, which can be useful for this.
