I offered my house up initially before we had any venues to make sure we had _somewhere_ but withdrew it once we knew we had a couple of venues (plus some home issues meant it was no longer feasible). > In the long run, I'd expect smaller city teams to come together as well. > Having an activity together will certainly help. > Yeah, we could certainly have got a few more venues.

Maybe push the "different" locations thing next time, to get people thinking outside the box location-wise. They don't _have_ to have an office with a wired network or conference calling facility. Coffee shops, houses, community centres and so on are all potential options. Maybe have a competition for "weirdest location for a bug jam". That might help highlight the fact that you can do this anywhere. Cheers, Al. -- loco-contacts mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/loco-contacts
