I think something like this could prompt the local schools / colleges to start taking gnu linux seriously and may be start offering similar courses, especially if there is a lot of interest, but that is long term. Lets see how things go next Thursday at the Paignton meeting, its another venue we are trying out (so not sure on the power socket situation), but we have internet access which is handy. We have 3 venues now in different parts of Paignton, the old monastery is still available for a paid for event. If you want to cover anything at that meeting, then its only 8 days to discuss anything, if we are meeting up we could use it to focus on a specific topic, any ideas. I know there are some ideas on topics on the dclug site, based on previous requests and discussions on the chat room.
