Hi all,
I just got home to discover 3 copies of Linuxuser and developer magazine (technical edition with coverdisc) sitting on my doorstep to be handed around the group (many thanks to LinuxUser http://www.linuxuser.co.uk ). It has a complete set of Redhat 9 on the coverdisc, articles include "how linux is revolutionising movie production" (shame they didn't feature the London production companies though) "can AMDs Opteron cope with Linux" "Getting a small business working online" etc. etc.
Anyhow if you want one of these you can either come and pick it up from me in Cambridge (or arrange some kind of sneaker net to get them to you) or I will be at the next Norwich evening meeting (that is if the meeting is rescheduled for the 16th of October as I will be in London on the 9th for LinuxExpo. It would be good if we could get people who take copies to pass them on to other people who want them also in their local area so any alternative ideas on distributions would be welcome.
Thanks Adam
Hello everyone,
Following a very interesting and pleasant Sunday afternoon meeting in Norwich (thanks Syd!) I would like to say that our little ALUG library now only has 2 books that are not out on loan: "The Root of all Evil" (User Friendly cartoons) and "Using Samba" (o' Reilly). I would like to ask those who took books to read at the last Norwich meeting in July please to consider returning them soonish so that we can keep books circulating - the problem being that they get borrowed and then sit on people's bookshelves untouched for months (we all being but human). I have a request for "The Cathedral and the Bazaar", so that book in particular would be good to have back.
I expect to be at the next Thursday meeting in Norwich (presumably the 16th of October), also at LinuxExpo on Oct 8th/9th, so anyone who has books to return who might be attending those events can email me; failing that I would ask for all the books that went out in July to be returned at, or in time for, the Syleham meeting in November. Hopefully we'll have some more books by then, thanks to kind promises of donations (I think that was Keith), so everyone can pick a new book to take home and read over Christmas! :)
Those who have borrowed O' Reilly books, please don't forget that we need to review those books in order to keep getting them. Your reviews will be very much appreciated.
Thanks, /Kirsten

Proper announcement later but, yes, next Norwich evening meet will be thursday 16th October because of the clash with the LinuxExpo.

I presume some people are going? I went there last year and found that the Mac/Playstation area was the best. The rest was cack though.
Don't think I would be going anyway.. I'm on my house hunting madness!

I am. I've started a list in the contrib. Add yourself if you are going. I'll add details of things like the pub jaunt later (or someone can beat me to it). http://www.alug.org.uk/contrib/?LinuxShow
