Definitely agree!
I was wondering if there would be any interest in a monthly London
meet for FOSS folk. I go to 3 monthly London science-fiction meets,
one that's been running since 1946, and 2 monthly sceptical meets, one
that's 11 or 12 years old now, so there are a few such functions that
are already working well...
I'm sure that would work. Monthly is definitely manageable as it's just
a case of finding a suitable pub 12 times a year. I've been helping to
run a group that does weekly meets around London in a similar setting so
I can fish out a list of likely watering holes. Thursdays are good to do
such a thing as it's close to the weekend while not being the weekend
quite yet.
Now in terms of practicality, here are a few things we could do to make
it easier:
* vary the location so that a majority of people can make it at some
point;
* make sure that for each meet, at least 2 people commit to be there
from the start (say 7pm): there's nothing worse than being on your
own in a pub wondering whether you're too early and nobody's arrived
yet or you're too late and everybody's gone home already;
* mention the 2 people above on the meet's details, possibly with a
link to their wiki pages so that people have an idea what they look
like (assuming they've got a photograph).
So if anybody's interested, I'm happy to organise the next London one
either end of October or November.
Cheers,
Bruno
