There seem to be no other meetings planned for July. If that's correct, who would come to a meeting in Lynn or Ely on which Saturday, Sunday afternoon or Monday evening between now and 8 August? Please reply to me off-list indicating when you would attend, what you would show (if anything) or what you want to be shown. If it's already on DemosOfferedDemosWanted, I'll copy it from there. If you know any of the possible venues, comments are welcome. I'll summarise and post back. If there's not clearly demand, I'll shelve it.

Just as a side comment: I don't use plugins. From what I remember, they are a pain to configure (you want what form of symlink where), slow the browser down or crash it (more common if not compiled for your exact browser/libc combination), and don't seem to add enough to be worth the effort over having the file download and open in a viewer. I'm sure other people have the skills to make them work, but I've not found them worthwhile and I'm a pragmatist.
In general, it seems better for most technical discussion to happen in more targetted places. Where ALUG has worked best for me, is when I don't know what that more targetted place is, or don't even know what software I should be using for a particular task. Sometimes, it even introduces me to things I didn't know that I didn't know. This may be why I've not enjoyed recent meetings as much. You're all nice people, but there are other drinking clubs which I'd join if I wanted.
Apologies for being out-of-thread. I didn't see the original.
