| As far as something that has only happened three times can have a norm: Meet downstairs between 2 and 3pm; move upstairs about 3pm; either gather together for a themed meeting maybe using the large screen; or split into smaller groups around computers connected via the WIFI; around 4:30pm it becomes more difficult to hold a single meeting; so we split into smaller groups some going downstairs again. By the start of the meeting we should know who is going to record the meeting, by the end we should know what is going to happen at the next meeting. | As far as something that has only happened three times can have a norm: Meet downstairs between 2 and 3pm; move upstairs about 3pm; '''either''' gather together for a themed meeting maybe using the large screen; '''or''' split into smaller groups around computers connected via the WIFI; around 4:30pm it becomes more difficult to hold a single meeting; so we split into smaller groups some going downstairs again.

| For example, in the Previous meetings section should I explain that the blue ''Baalxxxx'' entries are links to full minutes of each meeting and that their name tells you the month and year of the meeting? My view is that it is very obvious and when you link to the minutes there is more than enough detail there. | For example, in the Previous meetings section should I explain that the blue ''Baalxxxx'' entries are links to full minutes of each meeting and that their name tells you the month and year of the meeting?

Introduction
BAA London is a discussion group about APL which meets monthly in London. It is loosely affiliated to the British APL Association (BAA) but you don't have to be a member of the BAA to come to the meetings. Visitors to London and strangers to APL and its dialects are always welcome at our meetings.
We have only held four meetings so far and we are still deciding what it is we want to do and how to do it. Go to RunningBAAlondon if you want to follow the discussions about how we should do it.

Next Meeting
The venue, date and theme for the March meeting are being discussed at BAALondon GoogleGroup "Next and Last meetings". When resolved their result will be published here.
Normal venue
The Edgar Wallace, 40 Essex Street,London WC2R 3JF click here for full venue details. Among the guest beers being served on 4 March are Bowman Swift One and Buffys Norwegian Blue.
Normal Date
The last Friday of the month.
Normal Agenda
As far as something that has only happened three times can have a norm: Meet downstairs between 2 and 3pm; move upstairs about 3pm; either gather together for a themed meeting maybe using the large screen; or split into smaller groups around computers connected via the WIFI; around 4:30pm it becomes more difficult to hold a single meeting; so we split into smaller groups some going downstairs again. By the start of the meeting we should know who is going to record the meeting, by the end we should know what is going to happen at the next meeting.
Publicity
Before each meeting we ask a group member to post its details in the following places:
here |
BAALondon Google Group |
usergroup comp.lang.apl |
the dyalog usersgroup |
the vector website |
Members are encouraged to do the same in places we may not otherwise think of, and to post links to the WIKI there too. To avoid duplication this is where I know links have been put:
watch-this-space. |

Add your name
Members who are able to do so are invited to add their names here. To do so you need to be a member of the WIKI in the trusted group. If you would like me to add your name without joining, just send me an email <wiki AT SPAMFREE ellismorgan DOT co DOT uk>. You are also welcome to email me if you want to do it yourself but can not find the help you need. That will test my WIKI skills, but before you do take a look here HelpForBeginners.
Previous meetings
The first meeting had no theme and was a number of varying small groups discussing in different corners of the room. |
|
Was combined with a Christmas party and no minutes were kept. |
|
Started with no theme, but we moved to holding a single meeting to discuss how we should organise ourselves. |
|
The theme was Education in APL. |

Design Decisions
For example, in the Previous meetings section should I explain that the blue Baalxxxx entries are links to full minutes of each meeting and that their name tells you the month and year of the meeting? My view is that it is very obvious and when you link to the minutes there is more than enough detail there.
Keep it short
Maintaining this WIKI page is a good subject for "how we run the group", so if you want to start a lengthy discussion about it, please move to BAALondon GoogleGroup or RunningBaaLondon.
