Re: [Debian-NYC] Novice Nights and other workshops




Hey Brian and all,

I think the idea is to have a more freeform event so people who know anything about Debian can help those who know less or none. I'm up for being there for it, and hosting it at either Eyebeam or NYCR.

Do we have a new date for the Novice Nights? do we want to set it up as a regular thing? I think I could host a monthly night at NYCR/ Eyebeam.

I echo the thoughts of this thread that we really should make these
events happen.  It's clear there is a desire.

So we need:

- A date. Is Brian's idea of late Nov plan. I just made a poll here[1]:

 http://selectricity.org/quickvote/debiannycnn1

- Enough "staff" to come.  We need all levels, a few experts, and so
 on.  I think we can get this, but we need to be sure.  Please vote
 for a date!!

- We need to _advertise_.  And to advertise to under-represented
 groups.

Everyone, fill in your ideas here, so we don't forget!:

(I don't mind spending a fair amount of time organizing, but I need to
know there is a lot of enthusiasm for others to come (as staff) and
help find places to advertise!

[1] I am using selectricity but to make the purists happy, but it
   really doesn't seem to be as useful for this purpose as doodle.
   Does anyone know another service to use for scheduling?
