Patras Linux User Group awesomeness
-
My city, Patras, has an amazing local Linux group. We formed Patras Linux User Group, with the goal to get together often and learn new things every time and have fun. And I’m extremely happy to see it really blossom. We have scheduled bi-weekly meetings, where 15-20 people on average show up, watching two 40-minute presentations every time. Most of them are technical, some of them are more high-level (eg. I’ll be presenting RestructuredText as a replacement of LaTeX sometime).
So, we got a bunch of things accomplished this week. Way too many things are happening way often (compared to most LUGs), so I guess we’re doing a good job and people are having lots of fun.
- Last Wednesday it was the first meeting of the new academic year. Good attendance for an organizational meeting.
- This week I presented Mercurial in every-day life situations to a group of 25 people. Got some very good questions. Two other LUG member presented Android.
- Created a piggy-bank of € 80 for bringing drinks and cookies every time. People chipped in generously.
- Today a group of the guys organized a group visit to the movies to watch Wall-E.
- In the evening a group of 12 went for pizza to a really nice local place. Some amazing discussions and lots of laughs.
- A few folks of us got together today and cleaned our space and setup the network connectivity for tomorrow’s…
- Hackfest! Our LUG will be hosting tomorrow the Fedora 10 hackfest. Themis and Fotis are setting up the network, and from my understanding, a few non-Fedora folks from the LUG will come and find ways to help anyway.
Things getting done, ~glezos pleased.
