[YLUG] Agile Social Tue 31st, Derry

[Steve Almond]

> I think you'd do better merging YLUG with [York Geek Club].

YLUG, York Geek Club, and 'what going to AgileYorkshire makes me realise 
I'm missing', are all different things.

Closing YLUG and sending its members to YGC is certainly an option, but 
I think we're talking apples and oranges: I don't see that it's "better" 
than starting a group teaching & practising Agile, Software 
Craftsmanship, Coding Dojos, new technologies, new techniques (e.g. 
paper-prototyping), case studies, visiting speakers, site visits...

Alas, I've never been to a YGC meeting. If anyone's been to a YGC 
meeting /and/ to an AgileYorkshire meeting, please add your 
tu'pennyworth here!

I'm busy this Thursday, so I'll not make it to this month's YGC either.  :-(



> Have you contacted York Geek Club (@YorkGeekClub)?

Emailed their LinkedIn address this morning. Their LinkedIn page is 
badly out of date (February 2011) and contains spelling mistakes, and 
their Twitter stream reads like Jonny's personal postings, so first 
impressions not good! If someone's got a better route to them, please 
invite them along. If they'd like to continue the conversation somewhere 
with better notice, they've got my/our email address...

It seems bizarre that a group supposedly of webdevs, for webdevs, has 
almost zero web-presence...
