Helllllooooo List!
Right, we (me, kirsten and elisabeth) have just been talking in IRC and noted that we have not had a kit meeting in *forever*, so, on that note we thought we should start planning one. How does Sunday March the 20th at the UEA sound to everyone?
Cheers,

AFAIK it would suit, assuming I could get there with kit.
I suppose non-kit meetings are kept till the summer?

You don't have to bring kit to come to a kit meeting, it's not compulsory ;)
As for non-kit meetings, there's usually at least one in the summer in the Fat Cat (yummmm, beeer ;), if we were a slightly more organised group we could do debian-uk style brewery tours (hmmm.... beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer :)
But yes, summer is better for non-kit meets because then we can sit outside in the warm sunshine sipping refreshing pints of alcohol and talk complete rubbish about anything and everything :)

Ah, but without the kit I'm not going to learn new tricks so easily.

That wasn't *QUITE* what I meant...

I'm qualified.

Laptop*S*?
My *ONLY* laptop is a 486 and has a HD smaller than most memory sticks, and runs DOS 6.22 and Win 3.11 - when ICBA...

Can a 'kit meeting' include bringing bits and pieces one wants to give away and/or flog for a few beer tokens?

Yes, but it's usually better to tell us on the list first to get a feel for if anyone actually wants it, otherwise you drag the kit there and back again ;)
On a different note, if anyone has a Netgear DG834G going cheap, like for ~ 40 quid instead of the retail 80 quid, I'd be very very interested... if only so that I can then give it to Noodles to break ;)

Since we seem to be on track for this meeting, how about doing what Noodles suggested in October/November:
(I quote:)
---> Another meeting suggestion:
How about a kit swap meet? Everyone brings their old junk they want to get rid of for free and we bring some install CDs too perhaps and either we just swap junk or we combine it up to build full machines that we can then give to charity or people can take away?
Possibly January, after Christmas when people have got shiny new kit and have old stuff cluttering up the place?

What does everyone think?

That sounds like a really good idea to me.
I have a few incomplete machines here, A Tektronics Phaser 840 (which I believe just needs a set of solid ink blocks, it seemed to print ok before it ran out), various PCI cards etc.
If anybody thinks they want the Tek then tell me before the 20th of March, it is REALLY heavy and I don't want to have to load it up in the car unless it is wanted by someone.
