When's WUGLUGLAN?

Greetings All,

There was some talk earlier this week of having a WUGLUG event with
some talks at the LAN, but I don't think it made it onto this list.

 I believe the latest suggestion was to use the second LAN room on
Friday evening (~22:00) and have a few lightning (~5min) talks. I'm
happy to prepare one if people are interested, I think Mulletron was
too.

Who is interested in attending, or giving a talk? There's no point if
no-one will be there. Would people prefer another time? (Bear in mind
that people will be tired if you leave it till late in the LAN.

I think the only times you can guarantee people being there are friday
and saturday night.

The other organisational issue was the room itself - though compsoc
will have the other LAN room booked, people might be playing card
games etc.  So it would probably need confirmation from the exec that
we can use that room for talks during that period of time - or the
joinking of another room.

While its true that there may well be people playing cards in the room, 
I suspect that most of the potential card players will be attending the 
animesoc all nighter which is on the Friday night.
I would be interested in listening to a talk despite the animesoc 
allnighter.

I'd be interested, but I'd sooner it were Saturday night at around the
same time.
