Hi hope all is well im just wondering if we have the username and
passwords required for the LUG webspace yet as im dropping this server
soon and could do with moving the lug site across soonish...
r
David and myself will be carrying the work out so if you have any
requirements please ask. Also no one has taken the poster maker role for
the lug! So ill guess ill end up doing it!!  So if you fancy a dabble
say now or forever hold your peace!!!

Is anyone interested in the meeting tomorrow night or shall we just
stick to the traditional monthly meeting this month until we sort out
the project with andy?  ( i think this would be best cant see a lot of
people turning up)

Hope all is well - Well im all settled in using ubuntu - and gnome! - I
havent used gnome for over 7 years or so now, im very happy with it ive
not its a lot slicker than kde 4!! I have the latest version of
evolution which allows me to connect my - mail / calendar & emails on
google, so ive changed mail hosting for free to google moved MX records
and setup shared calendar and contacts etc so i have have a full sync
between my google phone and evolution works perfectly! and without
having to host my own kolab server!! google allows upto 200 users aswell
and paid accounts can be setup for corporates!

As for gnome its come on leaps and bounds for me being a KDE lover !
its well intergrated plenty of good apps and so much slicker its pretty
much like kde 3.5.9 compared to kde 4 (a world of difference!)
Im finding it very productive for business and the uptime has been great
so far...  on the asus I had some problems as i used the kernel from
array.org which is designed for the extra hot keys and other little
things for the asus to function but i had problems with audio skipping
which is pretty bad as i use the laptop for my act for backing tracks so
when its skipped it was a little embarassing so i upgraded to the
lastest ubuntu kernel last night and backported the wifi driver and its
all fine now in fact it more responsive and my wifi strength has
doubled??!! Ive just today added the getdeb repository and got the
latest versions of ardour pidgin / wine and some other quality apps plus
it installs the deb for google gadgets!  

So happy days computer wise!!

On android ...
Quality phone ive now got a blog manager - facebook - wifi radar -
picasa photo that connects to my online photo storage! terminal with
full root ssh client and server! irc / msn and full mail contact
calendar sync with google and evolution that just runs in the background
with out any complication! Ive also sussed how to copy and paste which
we couldnt do on the on the iphone!?

So yes gnome + google + google phone = productive and happy!!!...
