Hi all,

Just like to thank everyone who turned up last night, I think it was
our biggest turnout so far!

A few key things that popped up last night I'd like to just go over
for everyone to discuss:

1. Social Event location

We're starting to take over the bar, you may think I jest, but we had
almost all the walled seats in the bar area last night. The FACT bar
isn't really laid out to allow a decent social atmosphere as people
usually end up on the outer edges and unable to hear what's going on
at the other side. As usual we had a mention of the beer prices, a
common and regular concern.

We need a new bar, or just a decent location we can socialise to a
decent degree and still remain as a group, cheap beer would be a nice
addition.

2. Talks Location

I've been told by Dan that Dave Page from Manchester Free Software has
a "contact" with a book shop on Bold Street that not only has a
community space but a few PCs running Ubuntu. I'll have a talk with
Dave next time he's online and see if I can get more details.

3. Talks

We've got alot of people signed up to give talks,  but we're always
looking for more. If you want to give a talk then drop me an email and
i'll add you to the list. We will try to organise the Feb talk well in
advance and as per usual you'll get a email through the list with the
announcement.

4. Microblogging

LivLUG now has a few accounts on popular microblogging services, and
on the previous notification email I posted a list. If you interested
then listen to the "bot" for announcements.

Anyway, again, nice to meet new people and I hope to see everyone
again next month, if not before :)
