March/April 2018 meetup

NS Nick S Public Seen by 335

As mentioned in the earlier thread, we should agree a time and place for the second meet-up.

So the working proposal is:

6pm, Monday, March the 26th, The Outhouse, 12A Broughton St Lane, Edinburgh.

26th of March would work for me!

Quick thought: might it be worth setting something up on meetup.com? I attended a UX meetup in Edinburgh a little while back and have since received a number of emails about other events I 'might be interested in'. I can imagine a people finding about out about this through similar means.

Hello @idmyn! Indeed I've considered meetup.com before, the main obstacle is that there's a fee (once you get beyond the trial period). I know I can't really cover that myself, and I don't think the P2PF has funds for this sort of thing either, although I could be wrong. Maybe @staccotroncoso can answer this?

Ahh I wasn't aware of the fees, but that makes sense!

Hi guys. No we don't have any surplus funds. Sorry! Isn't there a free alternative to meetup?

I've used meetup as to organise Cleanweb events, and yes there are fees. As far as discussion and whatnot goes this is much better than Meetup.com. In terms of giving events a web-pages we can share/advertise with, we could use Attending.io -- light on features, free to use, & you don't need to sign up. Just a way to put the event on the web.

I investigated attending.io but when I try searching for events it seems to be broken - there's a 500 internal server error!

I can start adding an event without an error, however, so perhaps it's just the search is broken...

I confirm that I will attend the meeting on 26th March.

Looks like people are okay with the proposed date, time and place above? In that no alternative proposals or constraints have been posted so far.

Actually, I see a specific time is missing, so I'll add the time we used before, 6pm (Monday 26th, Outhouse Bar, Edinburgh). Again, pretty arbitrary so feel free to say if this makes things awkward.

I may try and book a table again, however last week it was totally empty (and they seem to want a deposit, officially). I think still we only have about 6 people this time?

Hi Nick, Just to mention we’ve got about 15-20 people confirmed for the Cultural Commons: Copyfair/Culturebanking meetup on 23rd.., best of luck and maybe feedback on here afterwards? Liam

Hi Nick, I'd love to come along, but I'm out of Scotland on Monday, will keep in the loop though, hope to make it along to the next one :)
