[ALUG] Hello

[samwise]

> Is there any kind of agenda, or will this one be a meet and greet?

Well, there has been one small meeting so far, before I started
publicising the LUG more widely and the five members who attended that
one expressed an interesting in having a half-hour or so interactive
presentation by a member on whatever topic interested them - how to
compile software, build your own kernel, run virtual machines, use an
iPod, archive a CD collection etc.

However, as there may be lots of new people (hopefully), I think we'll
keep it fairly flexible again for this one and just get an idea of
what everyone else wants to get out of our LUG too.  So, I've said
I'll bring along a laptop with some information about using a virtual
server under Kubuntu, but we may not get into that.

There are also a few other things we need to finalise, but it will be
mostly meet & greet.

No problem, Tracy!

We have at least one other regular Fedora user and I've used a number
of variants of it myself as well ... I'm sure you'll get some new
things to try before the meet's over.  :)

Ooh ... I've just had an idea - maybe we should have a regular Agony
Aunt slot in the meeting, for people to tell everyone else what
they're stuck with!  :)  If we get a wiki up and running, I can see
that coming in handy with that!

Peter.
