Hello Benjie
Thanks for that for that offer. It would be great if HantsLUG could rouse itself and start meeting again. I've been wondering if the thought of tinkering with Linux isn't in itself enough of a reason for people to turn out these days. Perhaps the added attraction of 3D printers, Raspberry Pi's, quadcopters, Daleks, etc. will motivate people again.
Does anyone else on this list agree? If so, this is the place to discuss it and make some plans.
HantsLUG used to meet on Saturdays, and I know that's a day when the So Make It space is already busy. But I'm sure we could find another suitable time to meet.
BTW, I was at the SoMakeIt open day on Saturday -- very impressive. I was amazed that there were so many people, and not just bearded types with soldering irons in their back pockets, but normal people of all ages with partners and children and everything. I hope it all continues to flourish as it deserves to.
Cheers,
Chris
