Hello, I would like to extend the discussion about weekend trials or expositions of various equipment or software. I consider myself to be an ordinary modern linux user that struggles with the most basic problems of everyday useage.(cut) The mailing list serves the really knowledgable linux users quite well in a conversational way, but now that linux is so much more mainstream, it would be nice to punctuate these savvy conversations with (possibly) regular(ish) instruction on the basics of linux. We could focus on the most basic configuration tasks via our mailing list to help NEW users of linux, and still enjoy the very stimulating discussions of experienced users.(cut)
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.
