Introductory ManchLUG Meeting
Earlier tonight was the first meeting of the new ManchLUG chapter of the GNHLUG at Wings Your Way in Manchester. I’d been tossing around the idea of organizing this chapter for a while, but hadn’t found the round tuits. Kenta came along and wrangled things together, and this first meeting at least turned out pretty well. We had 18 people registered for the event beforehand, and I think our total turn-out ended up being around 26 people.
The meeting itself was pretty casual, just some announcements and just general chatter for most of it. I’m hoping to have more organization for next month, perhaps with some discussion topics or a quick presentation. One person brought up the topic of media center computers, so maybe we can find someone to talk about their experience building such a thing with open source tech. I’ve taken a stab at it in the past with my MythTV box, but was never terribly happy with the results, and just use a WD HD TV Live to stream stuff from my storage server today.
Overall, I think everyone had a good time, and I’m hoping this will be a successful chapter.
