Main list config updates
by MJ Ray 21 Nov '01

21 Nov '01

The email list main(a)lists.alug.org.uk has had the following config changes: - More Content-Types blocked (to try to prevent more non-plain-text); - Content-Transfer-Encoding base64 blocked (8bit and quoted-printable allowed through); These shouldn't affect most people. We may try changing the strategy from specific blocks to a blanket block with some things (ie things that are clearly plain text) allowed through. Opinions? Email main(a)lists.alug.org.uk to discuss it. Of course, social still allows most things. -- MJR Anglian LUG http://www.alug.org.uk/ No ePatents http://petition.eurolinux.org/ FSF Europe http://www.fsfeurope.org/

Death of alug@stu.uea.ac.uk
by MJ Ray 05 Nov '01

05 Nov '01

At around 8pm on Monday 5 November 2001, the old email address alug(a)stu.uea.ac.uk will be finally disabled. Subscribers should ensure that they have the new email address main(a)lists.alug.org.uk in their address books and settings, which has been in use for several months. This is in preparation for the UEA Student Union ceasing to operate their mail server some time in December. Most people shouldn't notice any change, as the lists were moved many weeks ago. Thank you for listening. -- MJ Ray Email: markj(a)luminas.co.uk Director Tel: +44 (0)20 8553 6622 Luminas Internet Applications Fax: +44 (0)870 28 47489 This is not an official statement or order.

From: Robin Marjason <RobinM(a)belkin.com> Subject: [uklugs] Linux support with Belkin UPS Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2001 09:25:35 +0100 Dear Sir, I am not in the business of sending unsolicited mail but have received some positive feedback from Linux users regarding our range of Uninterruptible Power Supplies that you may find interesting.

[uklugs] CD leafletting campaign, UK - new date Saturday 7-Oct
by MJ Ray 04 Oct '01

04 Oct '01

Date: Fri, 21 Sep 2001 21:27:43 +0100 Subject: [uklugs] CD leafletting campaign, UK - new date Saturday 7-Oct From: Jim Peters <jim(a)uazu.net> Hopefully you saw my original E-mail outlining our plans for a UK leafletting day to raise awareness about the DMCA, the EUCD and the case of Dmitry Sklyarov, based on the issue of the copy-protected CDs currently being released into this country. We feel that not only is this something that the public should be aware of (nearly everybody uses CDs), but also that this is a way for them to start to understand what the DMCA/EUCD issue is all about: http://uazu.net/cd/email.html Our original leafletting day was cancelled due to the WTC disaster, but we have now set a new date - Saturday 7th October. At the very least, please consider checking out the background to this campaign on the link below. In brief, I would recommend you try extracting a track or two out of *any* new CD you buy, even if you aren't going to need it in MP3 format immediately, just to be sure. If you'd like to join us handing out leaflets on the 7th, please follow the links on the site for more details: http://uazu.net/cd/ http://uk.eurorights.org/ Many thanks - Jim -- Jim Peters (_)/=\~/_(_) Uazú (_) /=\ ~/_ (_) jim@ (_) /=\ ~/_ (_) www. uazu.net (_) ____ /=\ ____ ~/_ ____ (_) uazu.net

UK leafletting campaign, Saturday 15th
by MJ Ray 11 Sep '01

11 Sep '01

Date: Tue, 11 Sep 2001 13:55:15 +0100 Subject: [uklugs] UK leafletting campaign, Saturday 15th From: Jim Peters <jim(a)uazu.net> I've written to most of the LUG-Masters in the UK with a long E-mail outlining our plans for a nationwide day of action, handing out leaflets to raise public awareness about the EUCD + Dmitry Sklyarov, based on the current issue of 1,000,000 uncopyable audio CDs, intentionally corrupted and released into this country by the record companies. I asked them to forward the message to their mailing lists, but I suspect that many of them may have deleted it before they got as far as reading the request to forward it ! For this reason I'm writing this little E-mail to try and get in contact with more people before the weekend. We already have people planning to do leafletting in Rugby, Birmingham, London, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Sheffield and Glasgow. I would appreciate it if this message could be forwarded to all the LUG mailing lists, or any other relevant lists. If people are interested in reading more about the issues, and maybe joining us, they can check out the following site: http://uazu.net/cd/ http://uazu.net/cd/email.html This is just a small site setup to handle this weekend's campaign. For future campaigns and more general information, they can check out the main Campaign for Digital Rights site: http://uk.eurorights.org/ Many thanks - Jim -- Jim Peters (_)/=\~/_(_) Uazú (_) /=\ ~/_ (_) jim@ (_) /=\ ~/_ (_) www. uazu.net (_) ____ /=\ ____ ~/_ ____ (_) uazu.net
