:)

you can make it, if you really (really!) want :p

Re: UK, South coast / london N900 meet up?
 

i'd be up for pretty much any of the locations suggested so far. london/bristol/poole

anyone want to knock up some kind of doodle poll to start narrowing dates etc?

Re: UK, South coast / london N900 meet up?
 

will do it this weekend with dates aiming towards the end of the month. :) will give people time to prepare, and hopefully get more people there. :)

Re: UK, South coast / london N900 meet up?
 

I'm in London until the beginning of March. Would love a meet up.

Re: UK, South coast / london N900 meet up?
 

I'm interested in a London meeting, but probably couldn't make it to a meeting anywhere else. Depending on the size of the group, I know a good pub near Paddington (less than 10 minutes walk) that would let us book a private room for free.

Re: UK, South coast / london N900 meet up?
 

Paddington area sounds fine to me! :)

Re: UK, South coast / london N900 meet up?
 

Ok cool, although I have just thought that the pub is rather old and doesn't offer disabled access to the upstairs which is where this room is so I'm not sure if this would rule it out for anyone.

Heres a bit more info on the pub:

Re: UK, South coast / london N900 meet up?
 

Looks good. Just three Tube stops from my current office location, so perfect for some meet-up after work.

Re: UK, South coast / london N900 meet up?
 

the other thing you can always do if feeling lonely is go hijaak your local LUG meeting, MKLUG is getting quite a Maemo following with a mixture of N8x0 and N900 devices.

Re: UK, South coast / london N900 meet up?
 

The Devon and Cornwall one of those appears to have died of malnutrition.

I did manage to convince a Mac user to try Ubuntu on his alternate machine yesterday (He's been using pirate windows and the idea of legit free software sounded good),

Re: UK, South coast / london N900 meet up?
 

There was talk in Barcelona about Forum Nokia arranging a meetup - possibly based on community contributions to wikis and other docs

Re: UK, South coast / london N900 meet up?
 

eeeek - and i got caught up with valentines and the like i never got round to setting something up :| :(

Re: UK, South coast / london N900 meet up?
 

I'd be keen for a London meetup if one is ever arranged...

Re: UK, South coast / london N900 meet up?
 

So? Do tell! We want all the Valentines gossip! :D

Re: UK, South coast / london N900 meet up?
 

Count me in for that venue as long as I can get time off work

Re: UK, South coast / london N900 meet up?
 

Hehe posted a bit on my blog about it - you can't miss it, it involves a fleshmonger!

Just had a nice evening in chichester, and went to see the new Sherlock Holmes movie - thoroughly enjoyed it!

Anyway - once this week calms down i'll start on the organising! :D

Just realised i'm in minehead (Spring harvest) from 3-8th April - so could be a good time for a meet that-a-way?

Re: UK, South coast / london N900 meet up?
 

I saw the tweet about that. I bet your g/f was highly amused. ;)
My sister usually does Spring Harvest. I could make a day out and visit her (which would make her very happy) and meet up with you too! Added to which, I have relatives in Combwich so might manage a free bed.

Re: UK, South coast / london N900 meet up?
 

Sounds like a plan - is there anyone else who would be interested in a meet near minehead area?!

Have to admit i'm not the greatest christian, but love the theology and debates in the morning :D
Used to do soul survivor alot when i was younger, and went to the SS church with mike pilavachi etc in Chorleywood and watford.

Anyway!.... Yes she was thoroughly impressed that i was pimping her out on Valentines, hehehe!
(The roses, chocolates, meal out, cinema, b&b and overall nice weekend made up for it i hope!)

Re: UK, South coast / london N900 meet up?
 

I'm far from the greatest Christian, and I do it professionally. ;) In fact, I refuse to do the big events as they would take up my annual leave, and I kind of feel God deserves a rest from me a few weeks of the year.

Minehead is maybe a bit inaccessible... how would Bridgewater be for other people: on the m5?

Glad your g/f was impressed. I'm an old romantic at heart, even if I am personally immune. :)

Re: UK, South coast / london N900 meet up?
 

Poole is spot on for me, but i'd be interested in anywhere

Re: UK, South coast / london N900 meet up?
 

bridgwater and well, anywhere within 30 or so of there is fine - think poole may be a stretch for me that week - but don't mind going an hour or so away from minehead (I know that road from bridgewater is looooong n windy! - quite enjoy the drive tho!)

Re: UK, South coast / london N900 meet up?
 

Yeah, long and windy it most definitely is. Hence people coming from the East might prefer somewhere on the M5. Unless you fancy Glaston?

Re: UK, South coast / london N900 meet up?
 

Hey there - another Worthingite here.

Would also be interested in meeting up etc to see what others have done and do some extra learning .

Re: UK, South coast / london N900 meet up?
 

+1 for a meet up, London is best for me but will happily do a meet up somewhere else.

CH

Re: UK, South coast / london N900 meet up?
 

I'd be interested in meeting other n900s and their owners too :) - Bristol area best for me or within a couple of hours drive...

Re: UK, South coast / london N900 meet up?
 

Wow two in worthing!! :)

Everyone pin yourself on the map in my sig! :) - we're trying to figure out where the best place for a meetup would be!

Loads on there worldwide now, :)

Re: UK, South coast / london N900 meet up?
 

I could arrange a venue with wifi and AV in London at Birkbeck, University of London.

It's Euston/Russell Square area.

It has a cheap bar also.

I am tempted to arrange something for Plone along the same lines also.

Re: UK, South coast / london N900 meet up?
 

Euston/Russell Sq would be fine - anywhere around London I'd come to one.

Who would you target it at - just any keen N900 owners wanting to get more from it/geek chat about it, or more towards developers and real techies (I'd be in that category)? We could invite some app dev's to show off new and latest apps or to do tutorials on how to use a particular dev environment? Maybe even if the group is more established try and get someone more official or to hear more about Meego as that progresses.

I used to be a member of a "mobile developers" group on meetup.com but it didn't last. I could (and have considered to) create a group on there at no extra cost - I already have a group for an entirely different topic, and you can have up to 3 groups for the same price. That would be another way to attract people to a meet.

(I put myself on the pin map already, am in SW London)

Re: UK, South coast / london N900 meet up?
 

I'm guessing we've all just been chatting about it and noone's met yet (apart from the 'Push N900' thing). So let me try to consolidate the ideas so far. Focussing on London as lots said that would be ok, and its where I live - doesn't preclude anyone suggesting here/starting a thread for one more South-West of the country.

* London - Euston/Russel Sq area (Birkbeck college, Uni of London)
(volunteered space by tonypercy, wifi and AV facilities)

* Poole/Bristol - nothing specific suggested yet.

* London - Paddington
(pub private room upstairs for free, no disabled access; pub details link suggested by pjdowner

noobmonkey also talked about something end of March, but I haven't seen anything. Q: did you organise anything/put a poll up?

Any other location suggestions? Preferably ones we don't have to charge for or guarantee minimum turnout and bar expenditure, especially for a first meet (god knows how many would actually turn up). I'm wondering the pub we used for the mobile devs group might be suitable, which was near the Strand I think. Had an upstairs room usually empty enough and maybe even a big display (I forget..). Would be cool to plug an N900 into a projector for showing off stuff :)

I'm thinking a) it should be a weekend or maybe a Friday evening, b) before Easter might be too little time to organise and allow enough folk to see it and allow strong chance they're not already busy, and therefore that c) the weekend after Easter is my considered best thought. Leaving it too long means people can also forget about it/lose interest.

We should cross-post to forum nokia when we have something. Which I haven't looked at all recently (in case they already have something on the go?)

PS Tried using the 'LIST' bb tag but preview failed miserably..1

Re: UK, South coast / london N900 meet up?
 

May I suggest the format of

$venue
$number of would be attendees

so if I wanted to indicate I would prefer the Birbeck college venue it would look like

* London - Euston/Russel Sq area (Birkbeck college, Uni of London)
(volunteered space by tonypercy, wifi and AV facilities)

1

And each person who would like to attend that venue would increment the number

Re: UK, South coast / london N900 meet up?
 

oh maybe the meet up's should have their own wiki, as that could aid floor space swaps for sleep overs.

Yay maemo to slumber parties!

Re: UK, South coast / london N900 meet up?
 

Near Euston's great for me getting home :-)

Re: UK, South coast / london N900 meet up?
 

Works good for me too (near my office).

Re: UK, South coast / london N900 meet up?
