TO ALL ADMINISTRATORS AND INFLUENTIAL USERS
Do you think it is possible for you all to agree and define the AIM of ALUG and the PURPOSE of the aim. (best defined by answering, in order to...) So everyone, especially new and un-knowledgable subscribers,(like me) will know where you are going and why you want to go there. Then you will know what needs to be done to achieve the aim. Just as important,you will know when you have arrived. Microsoft had a clear aim and purpose. It did not have the best product.
Can't speak for the rest of the group but.
As part of the group it is my aim to promote the use and understanding of Linux and Open Source software, also to help where possible other Linux users when facing issues I have already encountered.
I can't write decent code, not anything worth contributing to a project anyway, I am no artist. So the only way i feel I can contribute back to the community that enables me to use Linux is by providing support to other users. Previously I did this on Newsgroups, but to be honest the trolls started to get on my nerves.
