I missed it :(

Anyone like to fill us absentees in on what happened?

I heard there was a great turnout!

I may have to increase the seating after all, into an amphitheater :D I am DELIGHTED!

20 - 25 attendees! WOW!

Still anxiously awaiting the new alpha... :)

And not to forget: MANY thanks to Timeless Prototype for his donation! That was really nice :)

Nah, the seating was fine, 2-3 people per bench and a couple more on the tables! Maybe it was more like 15 than 20-25. I may have overestimated a bit :) But it was a LOT of people!

Ah, pity you couldn't be there. But Vinci did a summary on the meeting which you can find here: /263/a2/92788/1.html#post942877
All in all it was very relaxed and chatty. We had a good time and thankfully no distro wars or anything else of that matter. Hope to see you all on the next meeting, or earlier :)

Ok Hel, thanks for the info :)

I will leave it as it is for now, unless some ambitious builder wants to get into making something special.

I think the current setup reflects the pioneering spirit of us Linux Users, though... :D

I would have turned up, except I didn't know about it and I was at an anime convention that weekend anyway. (only got back 6 hours ago)

Anything interesting happen?
