Hi All,
That idea would be great for newbies too. I Have had several employers
who fund these sorts of events, and from my own perspective find that
this really helps getting focused on the job at hand as well as getting
a handle on the nature of the job (and people) at hand.
The human factor also helps a great deal in even at least getting the
right mindset for working on a new system, and helps a great deal in
keeping motivated. This was always a case with the Amiga community, as
those systems were such a dog to use, but with the different
perspectives of other users, and at times encouragement, support and
ideas; usually it was possible to find a way through the technical
jumble of using those machines.
Regarding venues, There a 2 possibilities I can put forward;
"The Peg" in Belfast; Usually heaps of space (tables) available.
Regulars are usually there in the afternoons only.
"The Speights Ale house" (Tower Junction) Very busy usually. Atmosphere
seems quite professional though.
Not to forget the various Churches around, usually with good sized halls
that lie idle most of the time.
Just 2 cents worth, but hopefully good ideas.
Cheers,
Peter
