Excellent feedback, a definate stepping stone in the right direction.

It would be better If the meeting could happen at a night time or
weekend, i'm chained into a regular 9-5 job so I won't be available
for mid-day meets, unless we're making a day of it (build days,
projects etc.)

Regarding the PCs, i doubt this will be an issue, as proven just from
local Freecycle lists and other projects theres a pile of old PCs that
are waiting to be used, it's just a matter of getting the message out
to people.

Meetings/Workshops are the easy part in my opinion, as proven by
AccessSpace, you give access to the tools people will want to talk
about what they can do.

As there will be alot of ideas flying around, especially regarding old
kit, setup work, and workshops, I propose that a wiki is setup to keep
note of it all. Unless theres any major reasons not to i'll set it up
tonight. Probably at http://ten61.com/asliverpool/ or something
similar.
