The pattern of meetings was discussed and it was felt that the pub meeting had been very enjoyable but that we didn’t need two online meetings as well, so it was proposed to meet online on the second Friday of the month and at a pub (or other suitable venue) the second Wednesday after that.
It was agreed to cancel the Zoom subscription if it’s only going to be used in anger for one or possibly two meetings a month when free alternatives like Teams and Jitsi are available.
We’re also going to try to have more organised topics of conversation, possibly with a member giving a short presentation, but not at this stage visiting speakers until we’re confident we’d have enough people present to justify it.
