Empty rooms were never the problem; I think we used to get between 40 and
80 to the monthly Dublin Meetings. It was more that I organised six of
them, and due to the difficulty getting speakers, I had to speak at each &
every one of them, as well as organise most of it (bar the room, which
Dave Malone usually assisted). The one weekend I wasn't around to do it,
nothing happened, and it died. A shame.
So, anyone up for taking on a format that works ? A room and four half-hour
speakers on a saturday afternoon...great fun. And I've some ideas for good
talks :)
