That sounds like great planning and great organisation. Well done, Ubuntu-UK team! :-) I'm wondering how we can decentralise this even more. In the IRC sessions, the video on youtube and in other places I said multiple times: if you don't find a good venue and it's just a few people attending, do it in your house, ask people to bring biscuits. :-) In the long run, I'd expect smaller city teams to come together as well. Having an activity together will certainly help. Any ideas on how we can push the concept a bit more?
