Hi,
As you know we were invited by some nice people down at IBM Hursley to go and
hold a meeting there. I think it went very well and they have invited us back
again (in principle). At the moment we are working out when that would be (see
my previous email).
It has long been an idea of mine to hold a multi-LUG meeting, a sort of
miniature conference with our neighbouring LUGs. It is possible that IBM
Hursley may be willing to hold such an event. I've emailed some local LUGs and
asked if they would be interested and the response has been positive, some
people would be prepared to travel from far and wide if we were to organise
such event.
My plan for such an event would be two talk streams, with an opening plenary
talk and a closing lightening session. APress have said they are willing offer
freebies and I've already received a generous cash offer from one person.
Alan Pope has said that Canonical may be willing to (be persuaded) do
something as the proposed event would be near the the Lucid Lynx launch. I
have no axe to grind so if people with contacts to other distros could get
something from them then that would be better still.
My hope is that we could have a home/office/application talk stream and a more
technical stream. The home/office talk would include more application and user
type talks and the technical talk stream would be more guts if the technology
style - giving a wide coverage.
There is plenty of space at Hursley so we can have room dedicated to
installing the latest distro of your choice. There is a nice club house on
site with food and beer. I'm also hoping the uupc could be persuaded to do
interviews, and we'd get some coverage from the Linux magazines.
Is this something that we want to do?
If it is, then I will formally start talking with IBM and the other LUGs.
PS If anyone has a decent list of LUG chair emails that would be nice too, I
only have contacts for a few.
