It was bringing Tux along that did it; the power of the penguin compels you ;)<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/1/8 Dan Lynch <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:biglynchy@gmail.com">biglynchy@gmail.com</a>></span><br>

Apologies to any new folks I didn't get a chance to talk to, I think Andy may be right about the venue, I didn't actually know everyone was there for the LUG meet at first, I underestimated our popularity hehe :) Still, I'm sure we'll have a chance to chat in future. See you all next month!<br>

<br>
Just like to thank everyone who turned up last night, I think it was<br>
our biggest turnout so far!<br>
<br>
A few key things that popped up last night I'd like to just go over<br>
for everyone to discuss:<br>
<br>
1. Social Event location<br>
<br>
We're starting to take over the bar, you may think I jest, but we had<br>
almost all the walled seats in the bar area last night. The FACT bar<br>
isn't really laid out to allow a decent social atmosphere as people<br>
usually end up on the outer edges and unable to hear what's going on<br>
at the other side. As usual we had a mention of the beer prices, a<br>
common and regular concern.<br>
<br>
We need a new bar, or just a decent location we can socialise to a<br>
decent degree and still remain as a group, cheap beer would be a nice<br>
addition.<br>
<br>
2. Talks Location<br>
<br>
I've been told by Dan that Dave Page from Manchester Free Software has<br>
a "contact" with a book shop on Bold Street that not only has a<br>
community space but a few PCs running Ubuntu. I'll have a talk with<br>
Dave next time he's online and see if I can get more details.<br>
<br>
3. Talks<br>
<br>
We've got alot of people signed up to give talks, but we're always<br>
looking for more. If you want to give a talk then drop me an email and<br>
i'll add you to the list. We will try to organise the Feb talk well in<br>
advance and as per usual you'll get a email through the list with the<br>
announcement.<br>
<br>
4. Microblogging<br>
<br>
LivLUG now has a few accounts on popular microblogging services, and<br>
on the previous notification email I posted a list. If you interested<br>
then listen to the "bot" for announcements.<br>
<br>
Anyway, again, nice to meet new people and I hope to see everyone<br>
again next month, if not before :)<br>
