RE: UKHA 2005 - dates?

["Mike Griffiths" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think:-

The annual meets are a good thing.

The interaction between people is what makes the event.

People like Clipsal, Linitx and Lasar/ Cbus- Shop will always have
something to show.



Perhaps we should look at other ways of filling the day.



I would enjoy - even pay proper money to hear:-



XAP where it is and how to get there

Xpl -DITTO

Pic programming



Other might like a hands-on demo of:-

Hacking your Tivo

Basic Mains Cat5  wiring**

How a relay works - (No names No Pack drill) ;-)

Basic soldering./ circuit board development





The list goes on



Perhaps seminars where the speakers are paid for their time: Both
preparation and delivery.

Who knows if Keith doesn't have to spend hours preparing for a stand he
might even finish his Switcher!



Just my 2d worth

Mike



**How many people know to wire a house with Cat5 the amount of cable
drums is dependant on how many cables go to each point, not the total
length of cable required?

I think it's a good idea also - Perhaps a full blown annual meet is too
much
to expect from you guys? This seems to cover off the keeping up to date
and
the social aspect although they'll obviously be a hit on the DIY guys
who
can't show their wares but as Stuart says, is there that much new stuff
to
show so soon after the last?
