<br>
Hey,<br>
<br>
As far as the site goes, I'd like to think we could give any
confirmed members author access, but full admin should be limited
to just a couple of people, with any major changes being ok'd by
discussion once the site is stable. I think having the main home
page static as it is, but allowing people to blog about relevant
stuff would be cool. Have you tried any of the google+ plugins
yet? Theres some good ones out there to link back to the G+ LUG
page, and also for each member to have the author tags
automatically put in and linked back.<br>
<br>
My name is down for the Steam beta, but no word yet on access. I
did get steam running under wine, but half the games wouldn't
work. :( <br>
<br>
I'll have to decline the xmas meeting. No idea what I'm going to
be up to, but it usually involves hiding from anything to do with
the dreaded season! (cue scoffs of Humbug, etc.)<br>
<br>
On the topic of meetings, does anyone know how much it is to hire
the gregson function room? I know it'll be a lot easier to do
presentations there if its not too expensive, and they have a
projector and such like set up already. <br>
<br>
Darren.<br>
<br>
PS. Installed steam from Wayne's instructions, and it does work
rather well. Can't get Team Fortress 2 tho'. <br>

<div>its not expensive in the tavern and ill make sure they have

<div>i can get sarnies or i can get us big plates of chips with
bread and we can make a load of chip butties!!! they are lovely

<div>i also noticed they have a projector if anybody wants to

<div>memebers of the group can you let us know (even the silent

<div><br>
</div>
<div>ill probably change the theme a tad and add a links page and
get the contact form working as soon as i get a jet pack
activation back!! </div>
<div>the spelling will be bloody awful and want looking at and the
blog posts will be great to show a active runnng lug! </div>
<div>i was just worried that somebody could start changing it all
over like addding pages and content thought it might be better
if we deceided we wanted say another page or somebody didnt like
certain wording that we discuss it first otherwise we could end
up in trouble! so if anybody wants access please let me know i
can set up accounts, i think itll be good ill add theLLUG
wordpress to my phone and can snap some shots at the next
meeting which will fire them direct into the blog!!!<br>

guys good meeting the other night few things..<br>
<br>
im half way through changing the LLUG website over
to a wordpress, its installed and content back and
just setting up the jetpack for various required
plugins. Ive created the blog page and can give
access to the blog or the whole thing to users of
the group question is who needs access who will be
blogging to it and does anybody need full
access?... the worry i have got if I give the
access and if we start getting major changes IE
page content and themes im thinking its probably
better if changes are discussed etc - thoughts on
this please....<br>
<br>
i see we have one more meeting before xmas that we
could do we mailing the details out on the list as
it was mentioned that there wasnt one till after
xmas .... now if you are wanting a xmas meeting
i can organise - the tavern at scale hall, food
and wifi for a xmas treat as i did it last year i
dont mind doing it again this year to get into the
xmas spirit HO HO HO ... thoughts please :)<br>
<br>
on a lighter note anybody tried steam on linux yet
:)<br>
<br>
Best Regards<br>
