There are a couple of cafe/bars in Heaton Moor with free WiFi and probably other places away from the town centre, so we could consider moving to one of those at some time. Although, they do tend to get crowded at 3pm on a Saturday afternoon! (And when O2 decide to release Android 2.2 on my phone in a way that does not turn it into a brick, I'll be able to enjoy the delights of tethering!) > I'll be taking a laptop and may or may not use it.

I've just been into stockport andu there is no wifi! Plus I had a quick search for cafes that did and found none! There is good 3G though so I may just tether my phone.

Happy to say this took place. I had circulated it also to a local computer club, and what do you know? One email apology for absence (but would come another time), one in-person acknowledgment (at an unrelated meeting I happened to attend) of an install being done on the person's friend's computer, and above all, one person actually turned up!

In the interest of experimentation, I'll be at Costa Coffee on Northbrook Street in Newbury (Berkshire) this Saturday from 2PM-3PM. I've stuck this on the Hour wiki and will try it for a couple of weeks, see what kind of response I get.

For instance, if there was an event in Bristol for instance then I'd possibly have more chance of making it as it wouldn't be as far to commute to so I could do it in a day. Saying that, a friend of mine has offered to put me up for a night or two and she lives in London, so I may possibly be able to make it an event in London in the future (something along the lines of LinuxExpo or whatever it's called).

[ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu Hour in the UK
Hi, I was lucky enough to attend the Ubuntu Developer Summit (UDS) at the end of last year. Probably the most inspiring of the lightning talks was one called Ubuntu Hour by Fabián Rodríguez. In it Fabián discussed the problems of organising major events with venues and other facilities, and diluted down a meeting to one hour. He explained the incredibly simple premice of Ubuntu Hour. It is based on announcing your intention to be somewhere public at a specified time and date for one hour only. No presentations planned, no marketing, just a brief announcement of intent to be somewhere. People are then invited to turn up and do whatever comes to mind for the hour. This could be advocacy, informal ad-hoc training, fixing a broken system, really whatever the attendees need at the time. It could happen weekly, bi-weekly or monthly depending on the need in the local area. What also got me thinking about this was a recent bug report filed against the Ubuntu Community (yes, the community has a bug tracker :) ). https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-community/+bug/392986 In it Randall Ross explains how he thinks that perhaps LoCos aren't "LoCo" enough. There are plenty of people around the UK who run Ubuntu, and probably don't know about other people in their region. The Ubuntu Hour would be an ideal way to get mini-locos going. If you're interested in getting together with people in your area, this seems like an ideal initiative to do it. We can discuss what we're doing on the list, and figure out the best way to promote and run them. Remember they're designed to be informal, what works for an Ubuntu Hour in one town/county may not work for someone else. Lets be flexible. We have a wiki page listing Ubuntu Hours around the world, and I wanted to encourage people to consider scheduling an hour to be somewhere and let the community know. I'd love to start hearing about Ubuntu Hours around the UK. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hour Here's a report of a previous Ubuntu Hour in the USA. http://www.ubuntu-user.com/layout/set/print/content/view/full/654 Cheers, Al. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
