Yes but it's massive and it does a real ale festival every year, it's just a matter of timing it right. For the rest of it, I mostly agree with your comments.

I think a regular monthly meetup in London on a weekday as an after work social thing would be great. I think you need to decide if the focus should be Ubuntu, Linux distros, Free Software or general geekyness, not to exclude people but to define your target audience and work out how you are going to let them know the time and place. I am slightly torn. Whereas distro wars can be fun for a laugh, I'd not want to see acrimony break out in the pub. But OTOH, frankly, all FOSS users are in a bit of a minority. One could ask if running a FOSS CMS on Windows or something would qualify, but frankly, if you're interested enough to turn up then I personally would say that's enough. I reckon open it up to any and all Linux (BSD, etc.) users, try to find people via Lonix and GLLUG as well, and then hope that it spreads by word of mouth and on fora, IRC and so on. So what about we start simple with the ubuntu-uk mailing list and have a Ubuntu London Happy Hour using the Ubuntu UK wiki for planning? Then once we've done a couple and we got the basics right, invite Lonix, GLLUG and others to the party? If we're thinking the FOSS community, we could also send invite to the LibreOffice mailing list and other similar groups.
