We went through the idea of videoing talks some years ago with the
Linux User Groups and talks they were running. The general thought
was it would put people off because things which were done
informally, which is our style too, would not necessarily go down
with future employers who were googling them.</div><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"><br>

</span>We should perhaps make more effort to post a

</span>It is very disheartening for the people that have
made the effort to put<br>
on workshops when nobody turns up to them, we need to make
sure that we<br>
are running events that people actually want and will turn
up to.<br>
<br>
or we need to run more group events that don't need a
specific person to<br>
put in all the effort, for example would people be
interested in a<br>
monthly table top gaming night if we scheduled one?<br>
<br>
To help with getting the scheduling right, could people
please indicate<br>
which evenings they would prefer events happened on, as i
know a few<br>
people have clashes on thursdays.<br>
