I rather think about public present of CamLUG in Cambridge. How you mentioned there are many other excellent technical related group in the area and I don't see any point to compete with them but rather cooperate. CamLUG can give Linux knowledge, show that things can be make in different way. On the other hand learn what normal people want from computers.

If you were new to Cambridge then a LUG meetup would be a good way of meeting like-minded people. And so on. While in Cambridge I felt that I spent quite enough time down the pub talking about Linux and computers in general already thankyou very much. But if there were a LUG group where I live now I think I'd be along like a shot.

The trouble is that I get the 'daily digest' version of the mailing list summary and that didn't get to me until after the 'meeting'.

I rather think about public present of CamLUG in Cambridge. How you mentioned there are many other excellent technical related group in the area and I don't see any point to compete with them but rather cooperate. CamLUG can give Linux knowledge, show that things can be make in different way. On the other hand learn what normal people want from computers.

If you were new to Cambridge then a LUG meetup would be a good way of meeting like-minded people. And so on. While in Cambridge I felt that I spent quite enough time down the pub talking about Linux and computers in general already thankyou very much. But if there were a LUG group where I live now I think I'd be along like a shot.

The trouble is that I get the 'daily digest' version of the mailing list summary and that didn't get to me until after the 'meeting'.

I rather think about public present of CamLUG in Cambridge. How you mentioned there are many other excellent technical related group in the area and I don't see any point to compete with them but rather cooperate. CamLUG can give Linux knowledge, show that things can be make in different way. On the other hand learn what normal people want from computers.

If you were new to Cambridge then a LUG meetup would be a good way of meeting like-minded people. And so on. While in Cambridge I felt that I spent quite enough time down the pub talking about Linux and computers in general already thankyou very much. But if there were a LUG group where I live now I think I'd be along like a shot.

The trouble is that I get the 'daily digest' version of the mailing list summary and that didn't get to me until after the 'meeting'.

There will also be the usual agenda of technical presentations to introduce new technologies and a vendor tabletop exhibition. This event is free to engineers and managers in the technology sector, although there is a charge for specific workshops.

Message-ID: <73765a140903251220i4ea48509wa9ec5815f297517@mail.gmail.com> Hello! Is there any definite attendees for this Sundays meetup? I've been planning to attend a LUG meeting in UK since January but now I actually might even have time and opportunity to do so, so I just wanted to check if there's going to be anyone else than just me :-) Miia "Myrtti" Ranta -- GCS/ED/FA/H/P/S/L/O d- s:+ a28 C++ UL+ P+ L+++ E W+++ N+ o K+ w+(---) !O M?>+ V?

I hope have more time as finished to watch BattleStar Galactica. BTW. It seems that Colonial Fleet was using Open (but I guess not Free) Source Software as some fleet technician could change the infected code, what means that OS say humanity ;).
