MJ, what do you mean by each group getting a LUG listing? If that could imply *to other people* that each group is splitting off from ALUG, then I don't think its a good idea. 0.02p worth
I agree and think this is really important. It is something I have been wary of since first suggesting local meetings.
In practice, if a local lug was formed, it would probably depend a lot on how it was presented on the local lug website. Provided there were clear and explicit links and references to the 'parent' lug then there really should be no misunderstanding.
I've been looking at LUG-related websites today and the starting place seems to be http://www.lug.org.uk/
I noticed that there are both a South West LUG and a Devon and Cornwall LUG so I thought that was an interesting example. After all, why not a regional and related area LUGs?
Mark suggested last night at the meet that we could have something like norwich.alug or norfolk.alug - I assume you were meaning as a subdomain of the alug.org.uk website or have I missed something completely?
Does anyone have any comments on the facilities offered for LUGs by the lug.org.uk site?
