Re: [LUG] GNU/Linux Promotion & Meeting

[Paul Sutton <zen14920@xxxxxxxxx>]

good point,  I know that Tom is away over 1/2 term, I thought this meet 
could just be to get things going with whoever is able to come,   There 
is no problem doing another meet next month, (feb) anyway, however 
another venue would be helpful.  (school in exeter perhaps as it's 1/2 
term). It's really a chance to chat about the whole topic off line, 
where we can move forward far quicker than on a mailing list.  Even 
though everyone is not going to be able to make it.

We seem to have two momentums with the group, one is open source in 
schools, the other is the working group,  if either are to work, we are 
going to need regular meets.  We have already agreed on regular 
meetings, given that the summer hols are 6 months away,  1/2 term is 
going to be late may / early june so that works out at 5 months, which 
is er 4 meets.
