Hi Jerng,
I like idea 1, especially the hairdresser part :). IMHO, VM/Cloud
is an area that if you need it, chances are you have the skill to
search/learn by yourself, so it is more of a G4G (geeks for geeks).
So, what is the nature of the meetup? Is it a:
1. Troubleshooting clinic where people come with their machines
with all kinds of problems to be fixed (antivirus, install Linux,
etc.) or;
2. We choose a topic (GIMP, LibreOffice, etc.) and people who like
to learn it can attend (no troubleshooting on your WiFi setting or
whatsoever)?
I would also suggest that if the meetup is a troubleshooting style
it is to be held in a public venue so that people are more comfortable
to drop by with their valuable machines.
My RM0.02, of course.
regards,
Wikey
