Did anything ever come of this research? I wasn't able to be there on
the night you met - Thursdays aren't good for me. A friend of mine has
a projector that I often borrow, and could conceivably let us have
from time to time. Churches are one place who sometimes have cheap
hall lets - depends on how central you want to make it. Internet
access is trickier, especially broadband.

Topics

 - getting skype up and running! Another friend in China wants to chat
   to me using skype and I've never used it...

 - the old window manager / desktop environment is good - especially
   if we can demo a few and let people play with them with someone who
   knows how to do stuff around.

Cheers

Colin
