So, where now?

* List: alug(a)stu.uea.ac.uk Hiya, Since starting the mailing list about 10 days ago, we've got a meeting organised for 2nd May, the domain name, some web pages, listings in some of the LUG indices, started dialogue with neighbouring LUGs, publicised ourselves a bit with a press release and doubled (when I last looked) our subscribers. But we've only just begun. So I'm writing yet another "TO-DO" list, as far as I see it. Feel free to dispute or add to this list, but I don't think anyone can deny that if we get the first few done, then we'll gain people and have no problem with the later ones. So, here it is: * Announce the meeting to uk.comp.os.linux and u.l.e-a (Andrew?) Include details of how to join this list. Feel free to copy the posting to any other local groups at your Service Provider. * Any members posting there (eg Me!) add the ALUG web address to their signature block that they use to post to news (yeah, I know they're crowded already). I think ALUG members are becoming more visible on u.c.o.l (although I could probably incite a flamewar on any given topic :P). * Anyone keeping some Linux web pages stick an ALUG link-back logo on them and add them to the ALUG links on the main web site (Andrew, can you add a few more categories? Damn, I'm asking you to do a lot!) * Discuss who's going to bring what to the meeting. Andrew, could you keep a (basic) web page about the meeting, with links to Laurie's site and details of who's bringing what? * Produce a poster that we can all post around our local areas. (I know some kind souls have offered to do this.) * In a week or two, start trying to work out a venue and date for another meeting. * Keep up the good work! Publicise, invite people, etc. Food for thought? -- MJR Please use the address in the Reply-To line at the top, if set. http://www.stu.uea.ac.uk/ http://stats.mth.uea.ac.uk/ http://www.anglian.lug.org.uk/ [ This email came to you via the Anglian Linux User Group list ] [ If you only wish to recieve event announcements, email the ] [ SUBJECT of "unsubscribe" to this list and "subscribe" to ] [ alug-announce(a)stu.uea.ac.uk -- We do need your support, tho' ]

Website changes...
by Andrew Savory 13 Apr '99

13 Apr '99

* List: alug(a)stu.uea.ac.uk Hi all, Coupla changes afoot. The web pages are now hosted at UEA to let us do horrible things with perl, php and databases etc. At the moment requests are redirected from www.anglian.org.uk, until the DNS catches up with us. Some links may not like this very much, but it should straighten out soon enough. New feature: the website's "ALUG related links" now takes you to a dynamic links page; anyone can add to it, just do a submission at: http://139.222.129.17/links.shtml (Beware - this is misbehaving occasionally, so if you see a Server Error, please be polite and ignore it!) Think that's it...

Handy hints number one
by Mark J Ray 13 Apr '99

13 Apr '99

* List: alug(a)stu.uea.ac.uk Just found the following today and thought some of you might find them useful: Compiling your own kernel? Already downloaded the sources for an older version in the same series (eg compiling 2.2.5 but already have 2.2.2). What you should do is patch your kernel tree. See http://linuxpower.org/display_item.phtml?id=101 Installing perl modules? Try "perl -MCPAN -e shell" and let perl take care of downloading, compiling and installing dependencies. (I found that one while installing EP - which seems similar to PHP.) -- Mark.
