Hi Guys,
I totally agree with David, I think the lectures would certainly be of great value to meetings. I also agree though it is great to meet fellow Linux friends, I feel the time could be used for such lectures.
As David I am relatively new to Linux and a core foundation lecture would be good to start. Though many of you guys will hold such knowledge already, such a lecture will see the areas of interest the audience have hence will aid future meetings and lectures. There is a wealth of knowledge within ALUG and would be great to tap into it :)
I can help out if required for this year as I start studying again from January and with a new family my time is exhausted.
Also aside, has anyone tried to find a venue within Stowmarket, my home town? I wondered because Stowmarket is quite central for Bury, Ipswich, Norwich ...
These are just some thoughts and don't mean to offend anyone that arranges or helps with current meetings :)
Take Care,
J

Wouldn't it basically mean just making the meetings more organised - we already have the
meeting,
the website advertising them, and informal talks.
I think the lectures are a fantastic idea and I would definitely attend (as a relative newcomer to Linux I love the idea of having a time table of dedicated lectures where introductory Linux concepts and practices can be discussed and demonstrated; from my point of view this is far preferable to informal talks)
I would be very happy to help with the meeting preparations.
David
