Re: [LUG] Cornwall Raspberry Pi Users Group...

 

If you are there tonight that would be great. But yes, next week I am totally free.

Cheers.

I might be.  I am a full time Dad and IT guru to pensioners.  I might be free after 
Wednesday, I'll let you know.  If not I will be totally free next week.

Now all I have to do is work out how a Chromecast works and teach an 80 year old how 
to use it.  Could be fun.

Hi, new to this, but not new to Linux I have been a full time Linux user for nearly 
10 years.

Anyway I am trying to set up a Raspberry Pi Users Group for Cornwall, with a view to 
setting up a Jam in Cornwall somewhere. This has come from a need to talk to other 
Pi Fans, but unfortunately I can't get to the meets in Devon. I have setup a 
Facebook group already, if that takes off then I will try and organise a regular 
meet and then with the help of others get a regular Jam going.  I am also on Twitter.

Incredibile as this may seem, not everyone uses facebook, so it might be a good idea 
to set that page to be public. Without a facebook account, I'm unable to see it.

Also, I'm not conviced your retweeting of lol-shite and bolocks is going to attract 
people either. Your twitter account is not one I want to follow. Maybe keep the 
rubbish to your personal account? ie. Maplin deals, yes, questional photos of a 
Waitrose... No. Especially if you're trying to attract young people to it.

However is it a good idea but do note that it's already been tried and failed for 
whatever reason - although I suspect it wasn't the Pi Jam side itself that 
struggled, but the cafe/hackspace/workshop that it was running in - in the middle of 
Penzance too. I've no idea what happened to it, but the mailing list has been quiet 
for over a year and their website is gone. (http://www.tech-shed.org/)

Cornwall (& Devon) are geographically big and hard to cover - we did have a good 
turnout (relatively speaking) in Torbay yesterday, but it was more like a kids computer 
club at one point...
