Hi guys, sorry I'm pretty new to the list (been signed up less than a week!!) and I've probably missed much of this conversation but ... ... I work as a Network/IT Technician for a relatively large local college (E.D.C in Tiverton) and I think holding some kind of event to promote open source software, and it's potential uses would be a GREAT idea. I've slowly been turning around my colleagues and more importantly my boss to the ways and benefits of OSS and an event of some kind - maybe even with attendance from someone from one or two of those Linux companies mentioned in other emails - would be of great use. If enough people were interested in attending and we could get a few people to give talks, I don't think I would have any problems in convincing my boss and the college I work for to provide meeting space for free and maybe even food! Only downer would of course be that it would have to be during the working week and the travelling distance for some people on the list (maybe?) I don't know, I guess if this appeals to anyone you'll let me know? -----Original Message----- From: owner-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Paul Sutton Sent: 24 March 2006 22:53 To: list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [LUG] meeting enquiry. Hi I have sent an e-mail to the redcliffe hotel to ask about room hire, and pricing, in an attempt to find an alternative to the rugby club for a meeting venue, hopefully with net access but more importantly, somewhere that is bookable by members in Torbay as when I am in Canada I won't be able to book the rugby club (or sign the group in), The links is below, I think being a 4* hotel it's slightly more upmarket than the rugby club, :), I have said we are a non profit group with limited funds looking for funds, I will see what they come back with, It's about 10 mins walk from me, so dropping into discuss things should not be a problem. http://www.redcliffehotel.co.uk/index1.htm My question is: How does a weekend meet sound ?, perhaps either saturday or sunday afternoon, rather than an evening, doing that more members can perhaps attend. clearly its' more worth while if there is internet access. Looking at my diary, I have a few empty weekends. I am aware we can't really keep meeting in Paignton due to the distance people have to drive. I do agree we need to meet up on a more regular basis, so once a month is good. Hope this is OK.
