Hi guys, and fellow Linux geeks!<br>
<br>
Firstly, let me say hello to you all and introduce myself. My name is<br>
Becky Newborough, I live in Lincoln and I am a huge geek (I blame my<br>
husband, Philip, for making me this way! :D) I am @bobobex on<br>
<a href="http://identi.ca" target="_blank">identi.ca</a> and Twitter - look me up and check me out.<br>
<br>
I have just returned from my 3rd annual OggCamp event and have been<br>
inspired so much by what I saw and heard there that I want to give<br>
something back to the Linux community. I've joined the Lincs LUG<br>
mailing list to reach out to you all with a proposition - do we want a<br>
more active Lincs LUG? I notice from the current Lincs LUG webpage<br>
that we last had some news posted on 15th October 2009, and I know<br>
that the last meet-up was on the 12th October 2007, as Philip attended<br>
it - a joint event with BCS Lincolnshire branch held at Lincoln Uni.<br>
How poor is that, that our LUG has contributed nothing for nearly 2<br>
years and hasn't met up for nearly 4 years!<br>
<br>
I am volunteering to change all of that and get our Lincs LUG up and<br>
running again, but I need some input from you guys as to whether you<br>
want this. Whilst I am enthusiastic for this to happen, I am not<br>
going to waste my time if I get no interest from the current members.<br>
So, I have posted a few market research questions below for you to<br>
respond to, if you can:<br>
<br>
If a Lincs LUG were re-established, would you attend a regular meet-up?<br>
What would you expect from a LUG meeting to make it worth your while attending?<br>
How regular would you want your LUG meeting and at what location?<br>
<br>
What I lack in technical knowledge, I more than make up for in<br>
enthusiasm and energy (and home-baking skills!). Plus, I can always<br>
drag Philip along to do the technical stuff!<br>
<br>
Thank you for taking the time to read this - hopefully you can spare a<br>
minute or two to respond.<br>
<br>
Kind regards<br>
<br>
Becky<br>
<br>
