Alright, if that be the case, then we can start with that venue as welook for other venues.

You said the Friday before the last Fri each month would be a goodthing, then so be it for April.


So, should we now spread the word?

However, i have no idea why you instead went for a mailing listinstead of a forum, coz some guys mail boxes get filled up so fast andsometimes can't access yahoo and others while on the corporateintranet.....

I think if you look closer they where offering the same venue ;-)

How about folks like Allan, and Brian who had expressed interest in
offering a physical venue?

If they are still willing, we could have their in put and then draw up
a schedule for the LUG meetings.


Quoting Simon Vass <[email protected]>:

"So the folks who were proposing venues, could you please get back to
us on this?"

I believe Robert from S7 has already done that and I know he has at
least 14 Computers and a Projector, plus a fantastic Mexican
restaurant next door which covers the catering. Otherwise Palm Cafe
serves great Pizza and delivers to S7.

"Physical meeting: S7 is happy to host LUG meetings (almost) anytime we
want, barring only times where other events are scheduled at S7. Most
Friday afternoons after Good Friday are available."

I suggest next propose a date?

I think if we are to be precise here:

We need 20 to 40 conference hall chairs and likewise computers pre
installed with Linux (i think ubuntu or suse, or redhat) and a
projector, and a venue, first, then the other things can come in.

So the folks who were proposing venues, could you please get back to
us on this?


Quoting Simon Vass <[email protected]>:

Ideally, yes people bring there own, but not everyone has acomputer/laptop.


@davis: By chairs I generally mean the sort for people to sit on
whilst they listen to your speakers chat on about what ever topic.
They could sit on the floor, but that might be a little to
'bohemian' for some of them ;-)

By computers I generally mean something running Linux, (unless your
doing a Windows--->Linux Migration) and pre-installed with what ever
your talking about if your doing a tutorial, Internet helps if your
referring to a web page, but can be distracting if everyone starts
surfing, and not following you. How ever it can lead to some
interesting audience participation.

Don't people usually bring their own computers to a LUG meeting?
Isn't that kinda, well not the whole point perhaps, but a fair part
of it?

We can provide a projector, but for the computers and chairs i
really don't get what you mean. (Are they laptops, PCs, small office
chairs, reception chairs?)

(Perhaps having this discussion on a thread of its own is a good
idea? Many people who couldn't care less about Drupal might perhaps
miss this conversation because it still goes under the heading
"Drupaler")

Well from past experience;

We found the second to last Friday of the month worked well, making
it the same time each month meant people know to expect it.

the kind of budget you need so you don't end up cash "strapped" at just
one drink, etc, etc

This depends on the size of the event, if your expecting 30-40
people usually the beers and drinks can be handled by the few
generous donations.

If your organising a 200+ event, then you'll need a budget, and or sponsor.

Thanks Simon, at this point I hope matters around the LUG meeting are clear

But, perhaps it would now be good to know from the organizers at the
different physical venues, when these meetings would be scheduled to
take place, what is required, the physical address of the place, the
kind of budget you need so you don't end up cash "strapped" at just

:)@Simon, Benjamin, Brian, Allan, ........
I think we now we have three volunteers who can offer a physical venue
for the LUG meeting,( we are flooded with so many choices now..)

Can we draw up the agenda for that meeting? I think anyone can post
whatever they would want discussed in that meeting including nothing.

BTW: The above is just an opinion.

Thanks.

David,

S7 is one of the best community based entities i have come across,
operating right out of Namuwongo,

Passionate about 3 things, FOSS, Community and Empowerment.

Working mostly with young people (mostly ones out of S6, hence the name),
especially to give them the skills to be economically independent and
relevant as well.

S7 also runs an Ubuntu Cafe, a Mexican Food Cafe' and proudly host COSS
(hence the pitch).

Robert is a good man too.
