Firstly thanks to Alan Bell for a fantastic BBQ today, I think it's safe 
to say everyone had a great time and I left feeling rather enthused and 
inspired!

A discussion about how people may get involved without specific 
technical skills came up and one of the suggestions was creating some 
sort of group meetings in the local area. I have had such ideas for 
quite a while now and I'm wondering if it could actually work. I know 
we've got the Reading LUG just down the road but as great as those meets 
are they don't go out of their way to encourage first time users to come 
along. I'm thinking perhaps a regular meet here that's focused on 
getting people to try it and helping them through the culture shock 
might work. Something that could work alongside or even be considered a 
satellite to the Reading meet.

With the Uni in town it shouldn't be hard to get an initial group of 
interested people, maybe meeting in the student bar or something and 
take it from there.

All thoughts appreciated.

Gareth
