Hi folks,

Just wanted to announce a little experiment of mine: Humbug meta

http://clintonroy.wordpress.com/2010/03/20/humbug-meta/

One complaint I often hear about Humbug is how difficult it is to
attend our weekend meetings due to our Saturday timetable.

In an attempt to make Humbug a little more accessible I’ve got some
week-night room bookings at Brisbane’s Central Library, from six to
eight pm.

I’m calling these meetings Humbug meta for the time being.

These meetings are much shorter than the regular Humbug meetings, so I
expect they’ll be different in style.

Plans are very fluid at the moment, possible things to do are:

    * talks
    * workshops
    * computer help
    * presentation practices

As Humbug likes to see itself as an umbrella group, these bookings are
available for use by any tech / design / edu group if they need a
space for whatever reason. I’m particularly hopeful that groups will
use the space for speakers that have a wider audience than their own
group.

Wifi should be available to those with a library account.

The actual dates I’ve got booked are:

    * March 24
    * April 29
    * May 14
    * June 21
    * July 22
    * August 25
    * September 22
    * October 28
    * November 25
    * December 22

I’ll be shutting up a little early this Wednesday to attend Pecha Kucha.
