For those that put the effort in of finding and booking a venue and publicising, I can say organizing DCGLUG meetings is usually very rewarding and easy. Folks will volunteer to give talks on many topics, travels many tens of miles, and bring almost any equipment you request (hubs, switches, computers, CDs, CD writers, Debian mirrors(!), Debian developers, kernel developers, web developers, banners, posters, food, drink, gazebos - even on request partners and children - although sometimes it takes several requests and promises that other partners and children will be there as well - honest - no really they won't all be geeks). It is just people who find and book venues who are in short supply. Of course sometimes meetings turn out to be turkeys, and too few people attend, but these tend to be the exception, and are usually because the organizer didn't remind folks in timely fashion. Easy to forget that whilst the meeting you are organizing is in the forefront of your mind, everyone else is busy thinking about other things. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
