Re: [ubuntu-uk] Organising Local Meetings
Is there any interest in a West Midlands local meeting? I'm in Worcester (just about West Mids! :)) but would guess we could hold the meeting in Brum? (easy road and rail links) Anyhow, If any body is keen, lets get is started. I've added a page to the Wiki page for a proposed West Midlands group (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/WestMidlands) Stuart -- --- Linux #423936 Ubuntu #4500 --- -- ubuntu-uk mailing list ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk
Re: [ubuntu-uk] Organising Local Meetings
Is there anyone in the North West interested in meeting up? I've spotted that Tony is in Manchester, as am I.

That would be a great idea, assuming it is more than just the two of us:-) The Manchester LUG meets once a month. Would it make sense to combine it with that, or separately?

For those who cant get to Manchester, any suggestions about where might be good for you, thats still pretty accessible? Joining with Manchester LUG I'm a split on this issue. I've listed some pros and cons that I can think of below. Pros - People who are already involved. They are running an installfest on the October 21st of various distros, including Ubuntu (dapper and a couple of edgy cd's). - Established meeting place! Con - Would we appear as trying to take over? Are we trying to form our own identity as an Ubuntu group, or would we be better off as part of the Manchester LUG? Jono did write (11/09) * Try to work with local LUGs to encourage combined meetings. Might be an idea to split the meetings? Alter between an Ubuntu group meeting and a Man LUG? That way we get a chance to develop our own identity without taking over a pre-existing group (hopefully we will grow from more than a handful).

The Ubuntu UK teams involvement with LUGs and their events should be rightly seen as a plus point having users and developers like ourselves who are so deeply involved in Ubuntu chipping in to help and hopefully enhancing their event(s). When events can be organised and I am able to attend. If it requires a little travel, I will be able to have my better half take me and we will be able to offer lifts to those in our area. Our second car is a Volvo estate, so transporting a few PC's is not a problem. ;-) Regards Phil -- ubuntu-uk mailing list ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Organising Local Meetings
Good to see a few South Wales people here! By way of starting another list, I've put our names down on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/LocalMeetings. I'm in Cardiff and not particularly mobile either (poor student, no car). I've put it down as South Wales not all of Wales, as I think further up would be better served separately, at least as far as meeting up is concerned. Anyone have any links with SWLUG?
