part of the reason we are doing the London event during working hours is
that we *don't* want people to take time off work. We want them to come
on company time as part of their job, just like they would to go visit
events run by proprietary software vendors.
As for running one in Paignton, that could certainly work, however it
won't have the same catchment area as London. It needs to be targeted at
the kinds of businesses that are common in the area.
