Hey guys, thank you for considering my idea about more structured meetings. A few points I'd like to add to the pot, fwiw:
*Someone mentioned this idea is not new, as there have been LinuxLive events. I've never been to one, maybe it could be better to take it from there, improving what already exists, rather than starting something new from scratch? (If the main problem was "poor promotion", trying out some countermeasure to that for the next event, and improve from there?)
*Re: estimated attendance. Would it be too sci-fi to think of some online micropayment system where those who are going to attend could pay their share in advance? That would give a good scope of how many people would attend, rather than the, as mentioned, always shaky FB estimations (because clicking on an icon is way too easy, and also, some of us are allergic to that kind of services).
*Re: venue. I currently have more time than money, so I offer myself, if there is quorum, to do the inquiries and post here a "report" on the different venues you have listed (Watershed, etc). Hackspace has the advantage that it is close to a train station, right? I also thought of the Central Library, which has a nice no-fuss wifi available. I thought the lack of projectors would be a problem, nice to know that there are 2 available already! :)
The factors to investigate are then, correct me if I'm wrong:
Capacity
Wifi available
Projector
Food/Bar in nearby
Price
Means of transportation close
*Re: "Speakers". Here is a proposal for a system, version 0.1 very beta: anyone who would like to share something in the meeting could post a "ticket" including 1) title and 2) approximate duration of the speak including Q+A. Joining and tailoring those tickets we would have a program for the session, and also it would give us an idea of how long we have to book the room. The problem here can be that there are either too many speakers, or not enough; if the problem was the second, I have a couple of ideas I could submit myself :)
*Underlying motivations: "Using Linux" is kind of a broad label, so I'd like to say what would be my motivation for an event like this, which of course can differ for other people from other walks of life, and maybe foster some healthy debate.
I see an event like this as:
1) Quality Leisure. Recently I was watching a Youtube video about the state of the kernel, and thinking, "god, I need more of this stuff!". I'd rather sit and listen to someone explaining why he thinks his window manager rocks, or a demo of someone's distro project, or how they hacked some piece of hardware to do X, than... any of the sad devices out there that a lot of people call "entertainment".
2) Community, giving back... all the feelgood stuff. I'm sure this format can help a lot of new projects and ideas appear, and problems be solved... Also, maybe at some point someone could bring a camera... I'm just playing around with the idea, forgive me if I go too far too soon, but wouldn't it be nice to put some content out there? Someone not long ago mentioned the wish to promote the LUG a bit more; a Youtube account would be cool, imo...
Let me know what you think and let's advance the idea! Thx

?Hi, ?When it comes to location, a
factor is mode of transport.? If train is the preferred
option, then getting much further away than KT is
hard.? If car is the option, then there are a lot of
other locations.
?Personally, I
live in north Bristol (Frampton Cotterell) so I?m
strongly on the side of car (possibly bus but that?s
#6 to Bristol).
?If we go by car,
then car sharing could be an option.? I can get a hall
very cheap.
?Fergus

Please excuse top posting as this is a general comment/invitation.
Well done for offering yourself!!
Rather than going through the minutia of points at this time, I suggest
you try and get to the KT in 2 weeks time when I and/or others who
organized the last event can give you some background information.
The first point is to establish the need and support for a special event
and if so what type, then get a small group together and come back to
the list with proposal(s).
FYI "LinuxLive" was a single event to get "ordinary" people to change to
Linux when XP became unsupported.
