[LUG]Re: Paignton Lug meets

[Paul Sutton via list <list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

Sounds good to me, and yeah would be good to be more active and 
hopefully attract more people, current meetings are

1st Sat - none
2nd Sat- none
3rd Sat - Jitsi - Eion attends this as it is virtual
4th Sat- Plymouth - We also have Tinkerers at Paignton Library on the 
4th Sat 11- 13:00

I am hoping to get code club back up,  that will probably be on the 1st 
Saturday

As mentioned the IT room is currently being refurbished,  it may be more 
like a meeting room than a traditional IT room with rows of computers, 
which makes it more flexible, but should still have power sockets, wifi etc.

Perhaps I can propose the following

We Keep Plymouth As is,  maybe we can help promote more

If the Virtual meets are still popular we keep them,  but we could 
perhaps alternate them to every other month the meet at the library 
every other month,  as I don't really expect people to commit every 
month,  we could fire up a Jitsi session at the physical meet up and 
have people attend remotely too

21st September 3rd Saturday is software Freedom day,  I have a stack of 
related stickers and other promo stuff here,  so we could meet up and 
people can pick up to perhaps distribute.

We could do something for that, perhaps

If not and code club does fall on the 1st Sat then again perhaps have a 
lug meet,  every other month at the Library on the 2nd Saturday.



Just some ideas

Paul
