We keep getting more users stumbling onto the site, which is a great
thing (it's at what 70 odd now?).. So lets get a meet setup - I'm
thinking social in a bar/pub, then again we could go the formal &
social route if anyone knows a place to do presentations (then the bar
after to do some thinking or...drinking)? Throw some suggestions back
and we can set it for mid-march 18-19 time or so, which will give a
good 3 weeks for the calendar. Reply with ideas for style, times,
venues.. or suggestions for topics? i.e. Linux on laptops? Linux and
wireless? Linux and the next 10 years?..The direction of server
software development for the mobile generation? Or reply if you think
I'm a fool who should shutup also ;-)
It'd be good to get some more events/reviews onto the site. Anyway,
it's down to you guys.. to decide what, where.. if the time is
appropriate?
Regards,
Andrew

I think that a social in a pub is likely to be our best bet. It's
easier to organise, and everyone can come along and expect to get
something out of it. A presentation, on the other hand, is likely to
only appeal to a relatively small sub-section.

I don't really know Staffordshire, so I can't really suggest a venue.
Somewhere central makes sense, though. Are there any pubs that offer
free function rooms?

I'll write stuff as & when I feel the need to scratch that particular
itch. ;-) Can't promise that will happen very often, though.

All cool Andrew, name the date and I'll do my best...

As I've always said I think the board should be about Linux in
Staffordshire - who uses it, who supports it, where do you get your bits...
3:01 p.m.
Wetherspoons, Stafford town centre. Two or three weeks time? Any
preferences on evening? Week day evenings are probably best as
weekends are going to be packed out.
What do all think?
ps. I'm so glad of this distraction. I am cursing and ready to chuck
a PC out the window in a minute. It's an obscure hardware problem and
I have a feeling it's either CPU or board related :-((((

Sounds good to me. Monday evenings are bad for me, any other evening
is as likely to be good/bad as any other. Jen should have moved down
here by then, so she'll probably be coming too.

Weekdays are good for me - I was thinking weekends because of
commitments the next day. So how about thursday 16 march (curry night
at wetherspoons.. curry and beer from £3.49) at around 6:30 - 7pm ish.
Until... whenever we pull ourselves out of the chairs!
I'll forward this info to the forum so you can stick a "i'm coming"
post on there.. and we'll get an idea of whether this is good for all
and who to expect. Also, if anyone wants to give me a ride from
packmoor-ish (st74gj) area - it'd save me going 30mph all the
way...and back! ;)
Anyway, Have a good day folks

If you don't mind going 30mph to my house (Tunstall - ST6 6AD), then I
should be able to give you a lift from there. According to Google Maps,
you're less than 3 miles from me, so it should be OK for you, but it
also means that I don't run the risk of getting lost ;-)

He's away this week though...

That sounds crazy! His FTO is scary as hell when he goes up the hill
to your place Simon.
By far, the most fun ride i think i've ever had that night. Second he
pulled off it was "holy shit that was fast".

Ask Martin to drive you all - he's got a big monster 4x4 camper van
thing, like a Hummer only bigger.

LOL, to be fair though I guess it's not hard to beat a ped?
AND, I bet your ped would go a *LOT* faster down that hill than up it?
He he!

Well I get 30 uphill ( restriction is still on there ) and i get about
55 downhill.. flat i get about 45ish.. But I mean in a car.. I thought
it was nuts when my step dad decided to see if he could do 130 on the
way to Betley, Mart's car pulls like hell - and you feel it because of
the rear wheel drive.

Hello,
Sorry I haven't replied, but for some reason the webmail interface wasn't
showing all my messages (do you get the feeling I ticked something somewhere
that tweaked my view!)
Anyway.. Like the meeting plans (It's going to be the Staffordshire Linux &
Curry Group soon!!!)
Sadly, I can't really do Tuesdays or Thursdays..
Dave
