Good discussions on the LUAU list as well. Feel free to join that and organize some more meet ups!

Let's talk about Lua!
Lua is a scripting language mainly for embedded environment.
A group for enthusiasts of Ericsson's peculiar but lovable programming language. Yeah message passing. We don't need any stinking locks!
A group for .NET developers on the islands.
Voice Over IP Users Group - lets see who is running VoIP and with what systems. What handsets are you using and how do you like it?

Lots of drama at you know where. It was fun e-mailing John Chapman. Hope you are doing well and I will see you some day in the future.

- Hi Julian,
Just noticed that you are a member here. I joined a while back, after hearing about TechHui from Daniel Leuck at a Honolulu Coder's meeting. I haven't posted much (or uploaded a photo of myself) but I do like the idea of this kind of community. I'll be posting announcements of the Open Source Pizza meetings to the Linux Group and, for April, to the Python Group. Michael Bishop has volunteered to speak about the goings on at the PyCon 2008 Python Conference. They had 1045 attendees this year, double what they had in 2007. Should be a pretty interesting talk, he's very fired up about Python.
I'm thinking about changing the format of Open Source Pizza a little, starting next meeting. Instead of having the folks who arrive at 6pm sit and wait until 6:10 or 6:15 while late arrivals trickle in, I'd like to start promptly at 6:00 with a 20 minute "Intro to FOSS and Open Standards" including a little spiel about what it is, why it's important, and how you can get started. This would be accompanied by a short "teaser" live demo of an aspect of FOSS (different each meeting) on a laptop hooked to the projector. At 6:20 promptly, the whirlwind tour would end, the wireless mike would be passed around the room and the main presentation could begin promptly at 6:30.
This structured intro and general Q & A up front would give early and on-time arrivals more "bang for their buck" (two presentations for the price of one) and would, I hope, encourage people to arrive on time and serve to filter out some of the questions about Open Source in general so that the main speaker doesn't have to field them.
Do you think this would be a positive step? Do you have any ideas on how things could be further improved? I'd really like to see Open Source Pizza reach a wider audience and become more than just a social event for a few regular attendees.
Anyway, glad to see you in TechHui!
Regards,
Ron
