I agree. Not that I'm one to talk, having failed to make ALUG28, but that's not the point. More and more people are starting to become peripherally aware of Linux (I'm helping out a bloke at work, a lawyer (!)), and, as they do so, we'll become a useful resource :-) > One of the main points suggested is to make the meetings regular monthly > affairs.

It's not in my atlas, but it is an atlas of the world, so Syleham probably isn't important enough ;) > Talks were another strong suggestion.

This is a very good idea, IMHO. I've had an idea for a paper on the idea of Open Source methods for about four months now; if this ever makes it into something approaching a paper rather than an idea of a paper then I'll be happy to deliver it at an ALUG meeting. I will also watch the talk on printing in intense detail, because I can't work it out.

Another web form, Andrew? ;-) Does anyone have a URL for a list of computer shops in the area - and especially those that understand Linux? Perhaps this could be another page on the ALUG website.

After ALUG28, some of us hung around and discussed where the group should go from here. It's now a year since a few of us started tentatively making connections and organising the first meeting at Woodbridge, and there's a general feeling that we should start to gear up as Linux is beginning to hit the big time. There's also still the equally strong conviction (from myself and BJ at least!) that we still need to avoid committee-ism and keep this thing running in the vaguely anarchic Open Source spirit. One of the main points suggested is to make the meetings regular monthly affairs. I think we're currently intending to hold them on the third Sunday afternoon of each month, alternating between UEA Union House and Syleham Computer Club at first. I'll confirm Union House tomorrow hopefully. BJ? If anyone else has a venue we can work into the routine, shout now. Talks were another strong suggestion. Probably at most two talks of at most 20 minutes at each meeting. Hopefully, this way, we can cover common questions like dialup, printing, sound, desktops, getting started, etc I'm tentatively prepared to do some... can we put a "talks wanted" and a "talks offered" form on the site, Andrew? In the organisation, we need to divide up the major linux publications and websites between us and make sure that all of them get each meeting announcement. If you're up for being an ALUG rep to one or more places, shout now. The other side is to print more posters for each meeting. Gareth foolishly said he could get some posters designed and uploaded as PostScript -- we'll hold him to it and then we can print them off and put them in local computer shops, etc. Of course, we'll need to keep track of where they've been posted. Another web form, Andrew? ;-) OK, that'll do for now. Discussion to the list. Flames to /dev/null.

Hi Guys, Just thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Mark Wilkinson, I do RedHat stuff and I live in Peterborough. I'm married and I have 2 kids, 2 cats and a rather stupid dog. Am in the process of (re)building a little p150-base redhat box. In addition to this, I'm looking after 2 other machines, one out on the 'net and another one doing mailserver duty on a client site.
