Great idea to have meetings organised well in advance.
I just hope that we don't have to move any of the dates!
BTW I noticed that the Norwich PC User Group had a talk on Linux=20 last month, was anyone in alug involved?
Not that I'm aware of. I'm cc'ing their chairman to see if he knows about ALUG already and whether there's any scope for future occasional joint meetings. Do we have many people who are members of both groups?
I am hoping to attend alug meetings more frequently this year.
I look forward to seeing you.
Unfortunately this is just too short notice as we are already=20 committed to a family visit this sunday.
Yes, I was rather surprised when James started with such an early date, but it's his call. It gives us a chance to bounce meeting and talk ideas around before we've had too many offers.
* Norwich (all UEA unless stated): 2 Feb, 16 Mar, 4 May, 7 Jun, 20 Jul (not UEA), 24 Aug (not UEA), 5 Oct, 16 Nov, 11 Jan 2004Do we have a venue for the non-UEA meetings?
No, not yet. Do you know of anywhere? Maybe one would be a good date to meet NPCUG? ;-) If all else fails, the Fat Cat is a good venue if the weather is good.
The Norwich meetings are actually intended to be less formal most of the time, because some people there said they wanted more frequent informal meetings. Also, we don't currently have a definite venue suitable for desktop computers and talks. I think I need to talk to J about UEA. More soon, hopefully. Sorry for this first one being a little "up in the air." Not the first time for an ALUG, I know, but it should be the last for a while.
We have an offer for a speaker about IPv6/IPNG, the replacement for the 1.2.3.4 style of network addresses, and how to support it with GNU/Linux. I'm assuming that it would be a technical talk -- is there interest?
