14:59.09vagarwaloh btw - saw this discusson on rm's ml about starting linux meetups on monday evenings
14:59.19yaMattI read his thing about afterwork drinks, I do agree, but it's a moralistic choice

14:59.44yaMattwith my muslim colleagues I try to arrange work events without drinks
14:59.59vagarwalyou can always grab a soft drink
15:00.20yaMatttrue, but going to restaurants is better than going to pubs and bars
15:00.42wethrinpubs can have food, and it gives you a flexible time to be there and leave
15:00.51yaMattI saw the 12th, I'm in their IRC, I hope to make it, I'm going to scope out 2 other London Linux groups this month

15:06.29yaMattone thing people forget is that while for events pizza is a dead easy thing to put on, for wheat/glutin intolerance or lactose intolerance you've already screwed a bunch of people over
15:10.16Leedsthey're also very often not very veggie-friendly - even if you ignore the question of whether cheese counts as veggie
15:10.46Leedsjumps into random conversation
15:13.05wethrinSome cheese counts as veggie
15:13.08murbducks
