Which month do we want to hold the event in? (sooner = fewer people, my preference is for June or July)
June or July is good for me, but so is May. The last full week of a month is best for me as I have them booked off work for the foreseeable future.
Is this going to be purely a social event, or will there be an agenda and/or some hacking involved?
Purely social. I don't want to put anyone off coming because they fear being expected to be useful.
Can we use the online meeting booker thingy that's been used last time to help decide on the date?
We can - but I'd advise against it as it's not been very effective in the past.
Also, what size of event do you have in mind, and how far to cast the feline nets?
Something along the lines of a pubmeet. Just the people who have OpenGuides-love in common, meeting up for some nice food and/or nice beer, and a chance to catch up with OpenGuiders you've not seen in a while.
I'm thinking of places / groups where we could publicise it:
- London.pm
Yes - because London.pm people have been quite enthusiastic about RGL recently.
- openstreetmap
Possibly - though are there any OSM people who're interested in OpenGuides who won't already be on the og dev list?
- Multimap and ex-Multimap people we know
Why Multimap and not other mapping companies?
- UKUUG/GLLUG/Lonix
Possibly - see OSM comment.
- Freedomlabs
Who?
- Indymedia
Why?
