Yesterday we held a meeting where Zvi Devir gave his "Windows Refund HOWTO",
which was an interesting presentation about a widely-discussed topic, that
received a lot of publicity. I publicised this meeting on several mailing
lists, as well as on whatsup, linmagazine, and other forums. We also have some
feeds, and a Google calendar for the events (also in iCal format) if people
wish to subscribe to them exclusively.
However, despite all that, only 5-6 people (including the presenter and me)
came to hear the talk. The question is why?
Please don't take it so hard. It's just normal artifact of a club
meeting that requires no RSVP.
In Herzelinux we've just had two very interesting lectures, one three
weeks after the other: 6 people showed up to the first and over 25 to
the second (we ran out of chairs in the room...). It just depends on a
bazillion things going on in people's life. Maybe there was a good
soccer match yesterday :-)
I'd suggest adding an RSVP option to meetings and only doing the meeting
if enough people RSVP but I sort of doubt that this will work...

Everyone has nightmares. Even monsters from under the
bed have nightmares, don't you, monster?
Reinette: What do monsters have nightmares about?
The Doctor: Me!
