Hi,
With 2007 now upon us - a new year, new start etc., I've been thinking about starting up an Ipswich Linux User Group.
I found ALUG in my web research, and attempted to email Tony Dietrich who is listed as a contact for Ipswich, but the email bounced.
Soo ... does anyone have thoughts they'd like to share?
I'm particularly interested in what the benefits are of piggy-backing on the ALUG, in terms of mailing list and website hosting are ...
I've had an initial planning meet-up with some of the people I hope to get involved, and the general consensus was that we may well prefer to take advantage of our own site/mailing list, like a number of the other Anglian LUGs.
Anyone I should get in contact with to chat about this?
You can count me in if this gets going, I'm at Newbourne just outside Ipswich. I might be able to offer some hosting of website and/or mailing list too. I have a decidely underused account at Gradwell and they offer mailing lists as well as conventinal web hosting.
I think my (very small) business could run to the cost of paying for a domain name if someone can suggest a good one to register.
