NYCPHP Meetup

[Leam Hall]

Sorry, "Little Early" is only about 10 minutes. Since many social events 
take 10-15 minutes to get started, you could get a 15-20 minute tutorial 
session in.

Of course, if you're targeting a new user base there should be an 
awareness of whether or not new folks are showing up. However, if you're 
finding newbies hit and miss then yeah, doing the extra work might not 
be worthwhile, unless you're trying to build that segment of the community.

So maybe you have a 15 minute tutorial early on, or even start a little early so those coming in for the higher level stuff have some more wiggle room in the schedule. If the newbie wants to be there to learn the material, they'll make the time to show up early.
