The tech meet sounds great. I don't have any topics to add I'm afraid. It's been a mad couple of months and things have conspired to keep me from attending a meeting. I really hope to make this one. The weekend before is Lugradio Live and Oggcamp so I'm gonna be really busy there, hopefully things will calm down by the Thursday. It's a shame it's not earlier in the week or I could bring another Linux Outlaw with me, he flies back to Germany on Wednesday though. Never mind.<br>
<br>The O'Reilly book thing is cool, nice work Les! I saw LivLUG had done it but didn't even know about the program before that. Reviews would be excellent. The day trip thing also sounds cool and if we could find a weekend that works for everyone I'd be interested.<br>
<br>See you all at the tech meet if not before in Wolverhampton. Take care :)<br><br>Dan<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Oct 14, 2009 at 11:35 PM, Les Pritchard <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:les@chesterlug.org.uk">les@chesterlug.org.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br>

1. Tech Meet</div><div>I've managed to book a room at the Uni for the last Thursday of this month (29th) so we can have a tech meet instead of the regular pub meet. I hope everyone is happy with that. We've got a few topics already, but any other ideas you have please let me know.</div>
<div><br></div><div>2. O'Reilly books</div><div>Like some other LUGs I've managed to register the Chester LUG with the O'Reilly user group programme. This enables us to request review copies of books providing we publish our reviews on public sites / blogs. A review section to the site maybe?! The more useful benefit to us all is that we can get 35% discount on ALL O'Reilly books plus free postage. I'll bring along the info at the next meet, but please give me a shout if you want to buy anything sooner.</div>
<div><br></div><div>3. Day trip :-)</div><div>We've mentioned the idea of organising LUG trips and the other night I saw the national computing museum at Bletchley Park on the tv. It's still in the early stages of being set up, but I just wondered if anyone else fancied a trip to Bletchley Park as there's plenty of other things to see. I've checked the trains and it only takes 1hr 40 to get down there, so it's easily doable without making it a very long day. I'm thinking a Saturday for this.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Please let me know your thoughts / feedback to any of the above.</div><div><br></div><font color="#888888"><div>Les</div><div><p style="margin: 0px; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;">
