by Martyn Drake 26 Apr '00

26 Apr '00

Although I've not been about to offer the boxed version of SuSE 6.3, I am pleased to announce that I'm now receiving the full boxed set of 6.4 and will definately try to make it for the next meeting with both 6.3 and 6.4 copies for those that want it. Apologies for not making it to the last meeting, but ISP duties keep getting in the way of things :| Regards, Martyn [ This email came to you via the Anglian Linux User Group list ] [ If you only wish to recieve event announcements, email the ] [ SUBJECTs of "unsubscribe alug" and "subscribe alug-announce" ] [ to listserver(a)stu.uea.ac.uk -- We do need your support, tho' ]

[Fwd: Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender]
by Chris Glover 20 Apr '00

20 Apr '00

Does anybody else have problems with receiving mail from dermot(a)higrade.botwritghts.farm? I don't think I've ever received a mail from him. I use fetchmail to download mail from several places, which then delivers to my linux box. This works OK, except for sending domains that don't exist. If the person who sent this could please FIX their email program so that it has their correct email address, it would be much appreciated.

I agree. Not that I'm one to talk, having failed to make ALUG28, but that's not the point. More and more people are starting to become peripherally aware of Linux (I'm helping out a bloke at work, a lawyer (!)), and, as they do so, we'll become a useful resource :-) > One of the main points suggested is to make the meetings regular monthly > affairs.

This is a very good idea, IMHO. I've had an idea for a paper on the idea of Open Source methods for about four months now; if this ever makes it into something approaching a paper rather than an idea of a paper then I'll be happy to deliver it at an ALUG meeting. I will also watch the talk on printing in intense detail, because I can't work it out.

Another web form, Andrew? ;-) Does anyone have a URL for a list of computer shops in the area - and especially those that understand Linux? Perhaps this could be another page on the ALUG website.

After ALUG28, some of us hung around and discussed where the group should go from here. It's now a year since a few of us started tentatively making connections and organising the first meeting at Woodbridge, and there's a general feeling that we should start to gear up as Linux is beginning to hit the big time. There's also still the equally strong conviction (from myself and BJ at least!) that we still need to avoid committee-ism and keep this thing running in the vaguely anarchic Open Source spirit. One of the main points suggested is to make the meetings regular monthly affairs. I think we're currently intending to hold them on the third Sunday afternoon of each month, alternating between UEA Union House and Syleham Computer Club at first. I'll confirm Union House tomorrow hopefully. BJ? If anyone else has a venue we can work into the routine, shout now. Talks were another strong suggestion. Probably at most two talks of at most 20 minutes at each meeting. Hopefully, this way, we can cover common questions like dialup, printing, sound, desktops, getting started, etc I'm tentatively prepared to do some... can we put a "talks wanted" and a "talks offered" form on the site, Andrew? In the organisation, we need to divide up the major linux publications and websites between us and make sure that all of them get each meeting announcement. If you're up for being an ALUG rep to one or more places, shout now. The other side is to print more posters for each meeting. Gareth foolishly said he could get some posters designed and uploaded as PostScript -- we'll hold him to it and then we can print them off and put them in local computer shops, etc. Of course, we'll need to keep track of where they've been posted. Another web form, Andrew? ;-) OK, that'll do for now. Discussion to the list. Flames to /dev/null.
