Ladies, Gents,<div><br></div><div>As I have said previously in this thread, the current members of this group do not think of this LUG as inactive, dormant or dead!</div><div><br></div><div>Therefore the guidelines for re-activating an inactive LUG do not apply in this case.</div>
<div><br></div><div>It has been, however, quiet for a while.</div><div><br></div><div>There has been a little activity on the forum and on the IRC channel.</div><div><br></div><div>The only parts that haven't been active are the physical, social aspects. I have already stated the reasons for this.</div>
<div><br></div><div>What I would like to suggest is this:</div><div><br></div><div>1. As a <u>whole</u> decide on what we want to achieve.</div><div>2. If required, form an 'official' admin board (Chair, Treasurer, PR etc)</div>
<div>3. Make it work</div><div><br></div><div>There are sufficient members available to get the democratic process in motion.</div><div><br></div><div>I will, therefore, start a thread here for members' requirements, suggestions and thoughts on how we want the LUG to be shaped, run and administered.</div>

My name Gavin and I came to the meeting we had in Boston, was it really<br>
that long age. It would be great to have some more Lug meetings, I live<br>
in Lincoln too but would travel.<br>
