[HLUG] June meeting-ISFD

[Pete Linnell]

Dear hlugers,

This month's meeting was well attended and thanks to the earlier start 
we managed to combine admiring Geoff's scripting skills and erudition in 
some obscure fields of knowledge with a good deal of focused business.

We have chosen education as the focus for our ISFD effort.

The aim is to offer some kind of presentation to staff and students at 
primary and secondary levels, at some suitable time around ISFD itself. 
Some members have already taken on the task of initial approaches to 
some local schools. Keep up to date via the PiratePad;

Anyone reading this with connections to any other schools in the county 
or it's neighbours, as parents, staff, governers etc, that would like to 
get their school involved contact hlug at hlug.org(dot)uk
As we have only 10 weeks to prepare, and for much of that time the 
schools will be shut or in hectic mode we reckon it's important to get a 
solid start within the next few weeks. Tony has offered to prepare CD's 
of age related applications for sharing, and to undertake initial 
production; but any funding would be appreciated.

Colin has volunteered to deconstruct old press releases and try for 
something with less words and more impact. A number of innovative 
publicity concepts were discussed, mostly impractical for one reason or 
another; but we did agree that a poster and a different hand-out/ flyer 
with more detail on it were better than a single design at different sizes.

Social media; Heather and Kevin's posting offering to cover Twitter was 
noted and appreciated, there is the facebook event

which could do with traffic and attendees to generate buzz; perhaps 
nearer the time, but no harm in logging in as attending!
Jools is going to create webspace and tracking for analysis to be added 
to our high impact poster and informative handout.
