I am *very* involved with SoutHackton[1] and have even done a linux
installfest for one of their events. I dare say that if we ever find a
permanent venue then you would be welcome to use it. In the mean time
I believe that working together could benefit us both greatly. I have
posted to this list about southackton before, and a few people attend
both, but not many. I suspect this is largely to a lack of knowledge
of both existing and a lack of time to make both.
We could perhaps try and combine any of the meetups where there are
overlaps - Southackton recently had a hack day and there would have
been space for people to turn up and talk about linux hacking rather
than just robotics and 3d printers.
