Firstly thanks to Alan Bell for a fantastic BBQ today, I think it's safe
to say everyone had a great time and I left feeling rather enthused and
inspired!
A discussion about how people may get involved without specific
technical skills came up and one of the suggestions was creating some
sort of group meetings in the local area. I have had such ideas for
quite a while now and I'm wondering if it could actually work. I know
we've got the Reading LUG just down the road but as great as those meets
are they don't go out of their way to encourage first time users to come
along. I'm thinking perhaps a regular meet here that's focused on
getting people to try it and helping them through the culture shock
might work. Something that could work alongside or even be considered a
satellite to the Reading meet.
With the Uni in town it shouldn't be hard to get an initial group of
interested people, maybe meeting in the student bar or something and
take it from there.
All thoughts appreciated.
Gareth
