Sun Monitor
by Dave Griffiths 02 Aug '00

02 Aug '00

Calling all Aluggers I have a 20 inch SUN monitor GDM-20D10. The base bit is missing, as is the remote control. It also has that weird SUN video plug, but you can get converters. As far as I know, it works. I don't want it, and I also don't want to take it to the tip. So.... If anybody wants it, they can have it for free. First come, first served. You'll have to collect it from Harleston, Norfolk. And don't ask me to help you lift it!! Dave

Let's abandon the "third Sunday" idea, as it seems to quite regularly be a remarkably bad date. Random meeting dates, anyone? Also, shall we have an IRC meet for a half-hour or so some time sooner? OK, we all know about #alug on irc.openprojects.net, but sometimes you find someone other than Gareth there, mostly you don't (unless you're all just hiding from me).

It was horrendously hackish perl tied into apache and mysql's internals in several ways. I'd probably suggest using the similar-looking but simpler SquishDot on Zope if we're able to install whatever we like, as that would also allow there to be multiple web editors working on the site as a whole, not just on posting stories (which could be done by an overlapping group). Thoughts? Of course, other ways may be more developed in connecting up to the mailing lists and/or offering nntp feeds of the discussions. Are these of interest to people? As to the existing website, maybe we should steal the artwork and material, but orphan the current site as soon as possible, rather than waste effort bringing it up-to-date. Andrew, can you upload a tarball of all the materials (the site, the logo master, etc) so that someone can take it off of your hands? Once again, the "subscribe to alug" forms should be killed immediately, as they are broken but produce no errors.

Forthcoming ALUGs: Pre-organisation
by MJ Ray 29 Jul '00

29 Jul '00

I was about to send a email to a few people about the next few ALUGs, but then I seemed to add so many people that I might as well use the list and involve everyone, I though. Next three meeting dates are: Aug 20, Sep 17, Oct 15 (all Sundays). August: can we return to Syleham again, John? Adam, will you be able to show off Zeus to us slobbering webmonkeys? September: We really really need a new location for this one. This is undergraduation weekend at UEA, which is a really really bad time to try to get a room or anyone with any time to organise anything. If it is at UEA, it would definitely need putting back a week. October: Martyn, if the speaker from SuSE is available, we should be able to arrange a room at UEA, maybe even one of the nicer lecture theatres, although we might have to beg contributions to meet the cost if they insist on charging. If he is available, can you mail me with what facilities he needs and I'll try to arrange this ultra-early so we can get extremely good publicity out there. The rest of you 'orrible lot could volunteer for various aspects of promoting these events, producing posters, taking a few to computer shops in your area and mailing the details to various websites and magazines. Most of that needs to wait for confirmed details, though. Anyone with time more immediately could step forwards to help with the website. As soon as we get *something* up, we'll start keeping a "volunteers" page where you can say you'll do stuff, to avoid duplication of effort and the bad memories of the veterans :)

ALUG web site
by Martyn Drake 29 Jul '00

29 Jul '00

Hi, I've been giving some thought to the ALUG web site situation, and was wondering if anybody thinks that it might be a good idea to utilise the Slash code (http://www.slashcode.com) as the basis of the site that will enable several moderators to post articles, meeting stuff, etc. We're using it quite succesfully at my work as an internal news system for the company and it's working very well. A group of us post the main articles, which then allow other staff to add comments. Very impressive. Let me know what you guys think. Regards, Martyn

Just to second the advice about external modems (with the ultimate disconnect feature in the form of a power cycle!) and to mention www.microlanduk.com as OK people to buy from, but I'd order over the phone this week if I were you.

I would think that someone would pass through there on the way to an ALUG meeting, so appeal nearer the time (third Sunday of each month), or if you can find us a venue, ALUG could come calling on you ;-) Alternatively, there is a Cambridge LUG, but their subscriber to this list just started bouncing mail :/
