As I think I said somewhere before, there isn't
going to be a perfect date.
So far, the morning after the AGM has more "yes"s than any other date, and
several of the proposed alternatives clash with meetups/events in Liverpool,
Monmouth, and Cambridge.
The morning after the AGM has the most yes's, but the morning of the
27th has the most yes's and (yes)'s. There are a lot of people that
have expressed an interest in going that haven't voted yet, so I'd
like to give it another 24 hours before we make a final decision.
I just put every weekend this month (apart from this one) up there. I
know there are clashes (I included the afternoon after the AGM, which
clases with a London meetup, so Liverpool, Monmouth and Cambridge
shouldn't feel that I'm discriminating against them), but I thought it
best to just a wide choice and see what works best for people.
Being Coventry-based, travelling to one end of the
country (Liverpool) and
travelling to the other end (London) the next day isn't a prospect that
fills me with joy. I'd do it if I had to to, but holding a meeting on a
morning when I'm in London and free, and when a lot of other people not
based in London will be in London because of the AGM makes a lot of sense.
Yes, it does make sense, but there are already 5 people on the talk
page on wiki apologising that they can't make that day and 2 people
that have posted as attending but have said they would much rather it
was on a different day.
Whatever the date, there are options other than
attending in person - I'd be
quite happy for a handful of people to participate via Skype, any action
points/decisions will be posted on the UK chapter wiki, and WMUK has the
technology to webcast it live if there's demand.
Yes, we should try and include people by remote as much as possible.
