[Swlug] Cardiff SWLUG meetings

[Mark Jones]

What about a Barcamp style of event, where each member can bring a topic to
discuss for around 10 minutes at the table, followed by 5 - 10 minutes to
answer questions (see attachment)

Attendees can be notified of the subject(s) beforehand, and the Just A
Minute! will need someone to time the speakers, along with an appropriate
sound (so a whistle, air horn app on phone or countdown timer with alarm)

As for not finding people (mentioned by the Carmarthen thread), ask the bar
staff to direct anyone who says the word Linux to your table(s), and if
you're the first to arrive, hand them a bit of paper with the table
number(s) and LINUX written on them and explain that they may get asked
about the word written at the top, so send them your way

Hope this helps
