It sure doesnt hurt to experiment with different times and see what works. If more than one sole person shows up, Id say its a success! And many times there will be far more people at a place to eat during lunch time then say 6pm when everyone is out driving. Ive been to Subway, Starbucks, etc at 6pm and they can be empty.
Also, when talking about target audience... are we talking about people we can gather together with an interest in Ubuntu or are we also trying to be seen and reach out to people if they ask about Ubuntu? In my thought, theres no point meeting up if the place is going to be empty. You could just have a conversation online. Ive always been under the impression that an Ubuntu Hour is to sorta be noticed to anyone who might show interest leading in to a conversation. / Dave On Tue, May 24, 2011 at 3:19 PM, Mike Pontillo <ponti...@gmail.com> wrote: > Who is the target audience? > > For me personally it's easier to take a lunch hour [or perhaps take a > longer lunch] for something like this than to do it in the evening.
