Maybe if they're local companies they ask "What's in it for me?" so we could offer to place advertisements in position where people can see them like "COME TO JOE BLOGGS COMPUTERS at etc etc" just for a bit of free advertising, it may work it may not
True. Banner ads on the website? Company logos on all our printed materials? I'm happy to sell my soul for a stack of free CD-Rs etc ;-)
Another thing I keep forgetting to mention about the meeting - if several of us are planning on bringing machines, and some of you want to install linux etc, we need to decide on a type of network. I vote cheapernet (BNC style connections) over CAT-5, if only cos I've got three lengths of cable I can lay my hands on. It also means we don't need to worry about hubs etc...
Anyone graphically-minded out there and willing to throw together a few posters? Posters need to include:
Name of event: Anglian Linux User Group Meeting Date/Time: 2 or 3pm, 2nd May 1999 Venue: er, Laurie, what's the full address? Contact: http://www.anglian.lug.org.uk/ or me (details in press release) Details: perhaps a bit of blurb about it?
Andrew.
