Facebook : No Twitter : No Others : Usual channels (forums, rss feeds to web sites and our four domain names nui.fr jmll.fr jmll.org, jmll.info , no radio, no newspapers as they had other bones to gnaw) Any Interesting Story you will like to share with us? : Yes, two people drove 87 kms to come to see us and I learnt later that they heard about us on the radio for the last event 1.e 18th September and kept track of what we were doing. A young man took a dvd for her grandma Myrtha, aged 81. We had a sort of Jam session (not food related, but IT) with chess players who needed Internet for a party. So openSUSE was there for their party. Did you have a booth? : NUI was the only LUG present. Who staffed the booth? All of the above. Would you go again? Yes, 27th November and 1_th Decembre next. What more can you do to make it better? Swap our 16 or so boxes into laptops because it takes too much time to setup the room. Get hold of goodies. Other Comments like Will you blog about the event - and where? Who staffed the booth? Did you have a talk? Which topic? Would you organize again? We were too eager to go back home.
