[Ubuntu Oregon] Ubuntu meeting.

Mon Oct 12 01:41:01 UTC 2015

Che,

I concur with what Cody said; Here in Salem we have been staying at around
3 people pre meeting, with a few visitors who temporary attend to get a
problem or two solved.  Stay vigilant, because people will eventually show
up.  Some things we found that work here in Salem are:

* Small flyer (poster) half page, the larger ones seem to get taken down
more often to make room.
* Meet at least once pre month at the same place and time.
* Meet on a weekday, (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings work best,
because many people leave town on a Friday for the weekend, and most
holidays fall on a Monday, so those days near the weekend may not be as
good a turnout.)  However you may find in your area, that people may be
willing leave their own town to travel to yours on the weekend ;-)

Just a few ideas though - great work on LoCo evens page.

Ciao for now
Phil. N
