Is a North Norfolk venue possible? ;-) UEA has major problems with late September, because of arrivals. I can't get a room on the 17th (all booked out to arrivals) or confirmation until quite late (w/b 11th) on anything we would want on the 24th. -- MJR (For addresses, telephones, fax, etc, see headers.)

Dang. This list is meant to bounce attachments. Sorry folks -- filters tweaked. "C. N. Ross" <cnr(a)dircon.co.uk> writes: > So is there anyone out there? Is ALUG atcive? ALUG is alive and currently "stable, but improving". ALUG-IRC is held on Mondays at 2000 in OpenProjects Net (server eu.openprojects.net port 8001 #alug) and the most recent log (but not too interesting) is at http://www.cloaked.freeserve.co.uk/comp/alugirc2.html In real life, ALUG-40 (aka "Brian", I think) was held last Sunday at Syleham and equalled the lowest-ever turnout. Fixing the website is seen as a priority, followed by putting together event publicity material for local noticeboards and computer shops. The next ALUG meeting will be in about a month, probably 17th September, but venue is TBC (Pete?). The mailing list is moderately quiet, but a steady stream of messages. MIME attachments are unwelcome, so please try to make sure to send plain-text only. Anything I've forgotten? -- MJR (For addresses, telephones, fax, etc, see headers.)

I'm reluctant to have all the eggs in one basket (if we lose one machine or the other in a blazing fireball, we can reconstruct very quickly if there's already somewhere with alug access), but a forwarder probably makes sense. > Of course, I'm +1 for writing all content in XML and sticking Cocoon on > the front-end :-) Of course, you have a -1 weighting for the state of the current site. ;-) Personally, I'd rather use the mature system to get a kick-arse site right now than fight with an alpha framework to get something up soon. That's why I use Linux not Win2k... /me slaps self for use of FUD -- MJR (For addresses, telephones, fax, etc, see headers.)

"Ooh" as the initial thrill of IRC logs hits you... "Coo" as you see the early invasion of the TSW chatters...

I know we are trying to I'll be coming, but as usual, I'm not sure I'll be transporting a machine out to the wilds of suffolk. I'll p-p-p-pick up a hub tomorrow and can give 3 lifts from Diss station if you email me off-list with times before Sat. -- MJR

Next Meeting
by John Woodard 25 Aug '00

25 Aug '00

Confirmation that the next ALUG will be @ Syleham Village Hall on Sun 27th Aug between 2:00 and 6:30. Can somebody update the web site? I will post announce messeges to the relavent newsgroups. The hall will cost us £7.50 - we can have a whip round. I forgot about it last time! Cheers, BJ

IRC and Sunday
by John Woodard 24 Aug '00

24 Aug '00

What is the general consensus of opinion on last Mondays IRC meeting, was it a success, is it worth doing again? If so is it worth doing it between meetings? I thought it went fairly well with at least some of the pressing items coming up for discussion so maybe... Who is coming on Sunday and what are you bringing? I know we are trying to sort out the web site and other mundane admin stuff. So far the only requests for Sunday have been Terry Filby, who wants some assistance getting anything to work on his desktop box and me, I could use a little help with lilo on 'rodney'. Cheers, BJ
