* List: alug@stu.uea.ac.uk

Hiya,

Since starting the mailing list about 10 days ago, we've got a meeting organised for 2nd May, the domain name, some web pages, listings in some of the LUG indices, started dialogue with neighbouring LUGs, publicised ourselves a bit with a press release and doubled (when I last looked) our subscribers.

But we've only just begun. So I'm writing yet another "TO-DO" list, as far as I see it. Feel free to dispute or add to this list, but I don't think anyone can deny that if we get the first few done, then we'll gain people and have no problem with the later ones. So, here it is:

* Announce the meeting to uk.comp.os.linux and u.l.e-a (Andrew?) Include details of how to join this list. Feel free to copy the posting to any other local groups at your Service Provider.

* Any members posting there (eg Me!) add the ALUG web address to their signature block that they use to post to news (yeah, I know they're crowded already). I think ALUG members are becoming more visible on u.c.o.l (although I could probably incite a flamewar on any given topic :P).

* Anyone keeping some Linux web pages stick an ALUG link-back logo on them and add them to the ALUG links on the main web site (Andrew, can you add a few more categories? Damn, I'm asking you to do a lot!)

* Discuss who's going to bring what to the meeting. Andrew, could you keep a (basic) web page about the meeting, with links to Laurie's site and details of who's bringing what?

* Produce a poster that we can all post around our local areas. (I know some kind souls have offered to do this.)

* In a week or two, start trying to work out a venue and date for another meeting.

* Keep up the good work! Publicise, invite people, etc.

Food for thought?
