They are migratory learning and teaching units, taking the talented hackers and their ideas out of urban centers and bringing them to people who might not otherwise be aware of the possibilities available to them.” (via Laughing Squid)

Maybe we could make a Clusterbus. :)

And the idea of doing one month in Cardiff and one month in Treforest seems to be ideal too.

But it’s all far too ad-hoc.  So, it would be great if we could pick a regular day of the week/month to meet; instead of this messy “are we meeting or aren’t we?” arrangement we have at the moment.

Ideally,  I’d say one of the following options might work well:

  • 2nd Wednesday of each month.
  • 2nd Friday of each month.
  • Last Wednesday of each month.
  • Last Friday of each month.

What do you think?

Any suggestions welcome as always…

I’m new round these parts – Mr. quixoticquisling linked me in being the thourally decent chap he is.
I’m a bit hesitant to dive right in, but after just writing some of my thoughts on Android ‘vs’ iPhone – I thought, where better than to post here!

Thanks
