Thank you to all who responded to the poll ; as of today [1] the vote
stands at majority 8 votes for the Monday 1st of July at the Milnes pub
on Rose Street. I expect it to be quiet enough for a Monday eve, but we'll need to to
contend with the fact that it's tourist season. I'll look to book a
couple of tables if possible.
</div><div><br></div><div>There is possibility for more, please see below.</div><div><br></div><div>See you there</div><div><br></div><div>Tai<br>

I've trialled BarCamp and AMA among others to some success, I can talk about that when we meet.<br></div><div><br></div><div>We may also want to have one or two people volunteer to do some outreach activities : prodding other communities, incl universities, to get involved.<br></div><div><br></div><div>+++ Install Day<br></div><div><br></div><div>Back in the day there was also a desire to do a Linux Install Day event. Alternatively, in the face of ever-growing subscriptions and AI-scrapers, do a day on more generalised "FOSS Alternatives" showcasing what people can use instead.</div><div><br>
</div><div>
Is there a desire for this ?
If so, a team will need to be put together.</div><div><br></div><div>+++ Your ideas</div><div><br></div><div>Any other types of events ? Speak up !<br>
