It's a bit short notice for the first Tuesday of Feb (today) so lets start with Tuesday 4th March. So on this schedule for 2014 they would be on :- 4th March 3rd June 9th Sept 2nd Dec If you think this is a good idea, I'll line up some talks for March What do you think ?

The proposed tech meet on March 4th is now a week away, and its status is somewhat in limbo. As Tony can no longer make the tech meet due to work commitments, I'm wondering if there's enough interest and alternative talk topics/demos (long and short, Perl or other...) to make the meeting a go-er or not? It would be a shame to have to postpone the meeting until later in the year, but it might be the most sensible option. I think a final yes/no decision needs to be made in the next day or two to avoid any uncertainty for potential attendees.

I exchanged some emails with Tony earlier today and have cancelled the meeting room and removed the event from the calendar on the basis that it seems unlikely we can find enough speakers.

Thank you, Oliver and Nigel. With you two and possibly Colin if he's still willing/able to give his proposed talk we have three now, which is great. How about we try for an April technical meeting? The following dates avoid the existing PM and LUG social meetings: 1st, 15th & 22nd.
