I've never really had the time to be active in LUGM, but two other LUGs<br>
I've been part of have some interesting ways of getting together (in<br>
addition to technical presentations). Perhaps something similar might be<br>
interesting here too..<br>
<br>
ILUG the Irish LUG in Dublin have an unwritten custom where any member at<br>
any time can announce a POTD (Pint Of The Day) which specifies a pub and a<br>
date/time and is an open invitation to all other members to join in for<br>
beer.<br>
<br>
CLUG the Cape LUG in Cape Town South Africa also have an un-official<br>
tradition that following the monthly presentations at the official<br>
meetings<br>
(which happen on a Tuesday evening, around 6:00pm), most people attending<br>
the meeting go out for dinner after. Usually for pizza. Although it's not<br>
that often that a presentation does not happen, when this is the case<br>
mostly the pizza still does happen..<br>
<br>
So the suggestion is that if a) There are a few people that are interested<br>
to get together, but b) there is not enough to make a full technical<br>
presentation worthwhile, then why not just meet for a snack or a beverage?<br>
If the meet-up is in a resto or outdoors or something, there is no need<br>
for<br>
a venue, and if it's mostly social there is no need for presentation<br>
preparations.<br>
<br>
I'd think this could be in addition to technical presentations though. It<br>
shouldn't replace them.<br>
<br>
Anyway, just a thought..<br>
