The Alternative Network Group seems to be getting more exciting all the time. Seb is doing a great job organising beers and workshops. I would like to suggest a third type of event: AltNetDemos.

I seem to have lots of half-baked, prototype ideas in a month. Some of these make it into open source projects, screencasts, blog posts and tweets. However, it would be great to demo some things live to people.I’m imagining 5-10 minutes with a laptop and projector in front of 30+ people. Let’s say we get 5 people per session to demo and follow up with drinks/food. This provides time for discussions about whatever people find interesting (like the start of an AltNetBeers evening). These events can be a great way to generate buzz for new open source projects, bounce ideas around and generally geek out with shiny technology!

So what do reckon?
