I can't comment on VA as I don't work for or with them, Smoothwall is an independant project. As for *new* LUGs, the Smoothwall project is not involved with any attempt to setup new LUGs, it is a GPL dialup router/firewall project. Again, a separate issue if anyone involved with Smoothwall is involved with LUGs new or old. Personally I consider myself involved with UK LUGs - again a separate issue to Smoothwall, although had that is how I became aware of it at its inception!
Your project manager appears to have a real problem with keeping his various roles apart. The Smoothwall website mentions *both* VA and a project to start a new LUG. While it makes it clear Smoothwall is not a VA project, it does no such thing about SUK-LUG. It may surprise you that some southern English LUGs are taking this combined with Richard not answering requests for material as offensive. OK, it shouldn't surprise you, but it may ;-)
