Is this something we could usefully publicize to try to get more non-regulars to attend?
Yep :-)
Leaflet drop, even? Something similar to what we have been doing for the Python introductions? Points perhaps worth making: * Get more life out of an older PC, with a more up-to-date OS. * Don’t like the direction Microsoft is going with Windows 10? Try moving to an OS which gives you more control. * Do you have several machines in your home or small business? Do you buy a single licence, or a few licences, for some piece of software, but then install it on more machines than that? Or do you buy discounted “personal/academic use” licences which you then use for actual serious work? Wouldn’t it be more convenient (as well as more honest) to consider software that doesn’t make you worry about such licensing headaches at all? * Would you like to be part of an active community of users of the platform, being able to help other users, rather than just being a passive recipient of the products of a large corporation?
