[ALUG] Re: Ipswich LUG

[samwise]

All,

I'm quite convinced of the ground-swell of approval for avoiding an
Ipswich LUG split and I don't see a problem with starting out on the
ALUG mailing list.  It's easy enough to change later, if there's any
issues, anyway.

I've sent Dave a mail off-list and, as long as we can agree on a
website which we can make use of, I hope there won't be a need for a
split.

The main concern is that all the LUGs in Anglia have easy access to
their website etc. because they run their own infrastructure locally -
so it's simply a matter of talking to the administrators at the LUG
meets to try new stuff.  Unfortunately, we won't have that opportunity
at Ipswich meets, if the server's being administered by someone
further away, e.g. Norwich.  That shouldn't be a problem, I just want
to make sure we'll end up with a website which is flexible enough for
those of us further away to easily add content, i.e. a user-focused
wiki.  I think Dave et al are intending to move toward this direction
so hopefully we should be able to sort something out.

I'm delighted there's been so much feedback on the topic, tho .. :)

It's a good sign!

Peter.
