On a slightly more serious note... when are the LUG meets around here? by here I mean peterborough/huntingdon area (cambridge is a nightmare for parking/getting to)... the PLUG site has very little info and says the next event will be in 2003, so I'm not holding out much hope for turning up for that one, lol.

Peterborough meetings are normally the last Thursday or Tuesday of each month. I'm a bit confused about when the next one is, as I've not followed their mailing list closely enough.
Anyone for a drink^Wmeeting in Ely?

Hrm, modem and parallel ports?

I'm sure they aren't too dangerous... I just fancy having someone of the opposite sex to talk to, who doesn't gaze into space every time you mention something about work, lol... of course I do want someone who can also chat about/do non-techie stuff too, like... hmmm... well I'm sure I can think of something non-techie to do around here, lol

Are the LUGs round generally weekly or monthly? Apart from the Cambridge one being weekly I haven't heard much about the LUGs round these parts, and the websites don't say much :o)
I was wondering lately about whether it would be a good idea to start up a Cambridgeshire Fenland LUG (oh no, not another LUG!, lol), to bridge the gap between Peterborough and Cambridge.
I want to have a regular social LUG like the classic LUG model of the home-brew club... people submitting bugs online and saying what gathering they're planning to go to, then people can try and find a solution if they have a free moment, and if it's not fixed online, I'd print the list of unsolved problems for people turning up that night and take the list along for people to thrash out.
That's the main thing I thought of for the site, the fact that there would be a central store of people's questions (I know there's sites for that already), but most importantly, them saying where they're planning to meet, and whether they'll have their computer there for people to hack there ideas out until it's solved :o)
I'm starting to make the site for it anyway, since I get bored at the weekend and start doodling new things (hey, it keeps me occupied) lol, just wanted to ask for the general opinions, and any other ideas for things that would help the running of LUGs :o)

PS: Of course if it turns out my hair-brain idea would be useful, I'd see about starting an SF project for it so everyone can benefit

Why not help ALUG's Ely-ish area? Normal approach is to just try it and see what happens. I think people present last time liked the Prince Albert in Ely, but I've not visited it yet.

An ALUG question-site seems a good idea. I'd link to it. How would it play with the email? Are you planning to use a bug tracker like mantis or something like that? There's probably things that would need adding, like being able to subscribe to get email notices of problems.
This all looks on-topic for main@ rather than social@, by the way.
