N.E.R.D. (Geek event 4)

[Howard Dickins]

Hi everyone.

I was just thinking about the next N.E.R.D. (Geek Event)

Since we have a few new folk on-board, it's going to be increasingly difficult to find a day when we're all free. 
(It would be good to get a regular slot - 'the Xth Y-day' of each month or whatever, but what values of X and Y work for you all?)
Since some people can NEVER do Mondays and some can never do Wednesdays (etc...)  It's a tricky problem, but I'm sure we'll find some way forward... 

Secondly, *Some* of you have signed up to the [n.e.r.d.] Google-group - but many haven't.  I know it's easy for those of us who use gmail & other Google account
features, but even if you don't it'd be nice if you could all join in (despite the slightly more arduous process of joining for non-googlers.

Thirdly,  Steve mentioned the possibility of having a meeting up near him in The Otley in Pontypridd (a treat for anyone who like Real Ale - and not too far from
a railway station either.)  I gather it doesn't have wifi (yet) - but actually, that might be a good thing!  We might have a broader spread of subjects than just computer
geekery.  So who's up for it?

Lastly, I know some people think they're "not geeky enough" - don't worry it's not so daunting...  It's more of an outlook than an achievement-based label.  So come and
join in the fun.  Most of us don't bite too fiercely.

Anyway, everyone, please join in the discussion...  Please share your thoughts, ideas & suggestions.
I'd like to organise the next event for sometime before the end of March, so it'd be good to know when you can make it...

Cheers

Howard

Hi everyone.

It's time to do the next N.E.R.D. (Geek event)
So we've picked the 1st April  (next Wednesday) at Nos Da again in Riverside.

So, who's up for it!?

I'll pop along

Conflicts with South Wales Linux User Group (SWLUG) meeting, which has
some uber-geeks as it is ;-)

[Howard Dickins]

Since it's been pointed out that N.E.R.D. clashes with th SWLUG (Sout Wales Linux Users Group) on the 1st
and since there is a reasonable overlap of interest & personnel; we thought we'd uproot from Nos Da and move
back to the Central Bar (upstairs) and join our SWLUG friends.  It'll probably be a one-time only joint-meeting
but it could be a good idea for this time anyway.

So:  same date (1st April) & time (8pm) - different location - Central Bar.

Hope to see you there!

Howard
