There is a note in my phone which says there should be a kit meet at UEA on 23 October, as mooted at the last monthly Moot. If there are no better suggestions or major objections from the assembled masses, I'll book a room next week.
Are we going for the record for coffee makers again? And, of course, there will be Cake. And a prize for the most strange, complex, or amusing piece of working kit.
And possibly an award for the person who fixes (or breaks) the most things during the afternoon :)

I haven't seen any follow-ups onlist, though I have seen a number of people express an interest on IRC. I suspect "if you book it they will come". :)

I think it would be worthwhile requesting a room with internet access. I know at least 4 people at UEA that would come (3 phd students and the head of the Maths school).
I could even ask the head of Maths to give our cause a bit of clout, he may be able to get us a room with web access for all.
Just a thought.

My apologies as I'm new to this whole thing. If this meeting for general attendance or UEA only? I've been looking for a LUG to in the Norwich area and you're the first I've seen any mention of a get together.

I would also like to know what a "kit meet" is. Having joined the UEA a couple of months ago and using Linux, I'm generally interested in meeting people with similar interests.
Regarding other events, I've been told on this list that there is an ALUG meeting in a pub on every second thursday each month, see
http://www.alug.org.uk/venues/norwich.html
which I hope to attend (in the not too distant future).
Best regards, Jan

It's for general attendance; in fact our attendance of UEA students has been fairly low so if anyone can raise that it'd be good.

The monthly (every 2nd Thursday at the Reindeer in Norwich) meets are deemed "social" meets, because we just bring ourselves and sit around chatting and drinking (the Reindeer does real coffee as well, for those that don't drink. If you're lucky they even have biscuits.)
"Kit" meets allow people to bring along their machines, either to show off neat stuff they're working on or have built or to try and get the assembled masses to fix some problem they've been having. Sometimes people bring along working computer junk they're trying to get rid of as well.
The social meets are easy to have regularly, but kit meets take a bit more effort to sort out and need a higher degree of interest really.

Hello everyone,
I'm moving to UEA to start studying there on Saturday. Where I am at the moment, St. Albans in Hertfordshire there isn't an active LUG that I could find so it'll be great to meet everyone. I'll do my best to round up some Linux using UEA students, see if maybe I can get a Linux Society started - if not that then at least a computer society of some kind. Anyways, I look forward to meeting everyone!

Have you seen http://herts.lug.org.uk/ ? Their meetings are in Stevenage and I went to a few when I lived in Harpenden. From the website and list these are still happening on a monthly basis.
Not that I'm saying you're not welcome at ALUG of course. :) The more the merrier.

Me stepfather came from Snorbens innit, and I attended his weeding to my mother in the Abbey in 1944. I'm afraid I escaped and spent much of the service beneath the pews, much to the amusement of Canon Cuthbert Thycknesse...

Hmmm. UEA has been there long enough for pooter societies to have blossomed, withered and reseeded, so I'd tend to rein-in the enthusiasm a bit until you've ascertained exactly what is established there...

Ah. There are regular meetings in the Reindeer on the Dereham Road (Elgood's) every - er - IIRC third Thursday evening of the month - but someone will be along to correct me if I'm wrong.
Also, there are occasional meets (usually Sunday afternoon) around East Anglia, Syleham (near Harleston) in particular.

Anthony, these things are organised by Colonel Pannick.

Perhaps it needs to be explicitly answered, for Ed's benefit, that all ALUG meett-ups, wherever organised, are open to all. The UEA connection arises in that some members have access to room bookings at UEA with, of course, the benefits of propoer cabling etc.!
Best wishes, Ted.

I'll be coming up from Colchester, so if anyone NE Essex/Suffolk wants a lift let me know.
