<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Hello Dan and Members,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"></span><span lang="EN-US">I am an
occasional attendee at the LivLug
and was speaking to you at the B.C.S lecture in March. I think a move to
DoES
Liverpool is a really good Idea being a far better venue. The facilities
and
conditions are of a much higher standard than the present meeting
room.</span>
</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"></span><span lang="EN-US">I
totally agree with your first point,
being part of a tech community were ideas and opportunities flow freely
between
a number of separate but related groups can only be a good thing.</span>
</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"></span><span lang="EN-US">If
the move is approved by the LivLug
members and the facilities are available I am willing to give at some
future date a demonstration
of KVM and/or OpenVZ server virtualization and related data storage using
open-source software. If anyone is interested that is! Such a demonstration
is not possible at the present venue.</span>
</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"></span><span lang="EN-US">Many
thanks,</span>

<blockquote style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);margin: 0 0 0

<br>
Thanks for coming along last week if you did, it was a bumper turnout<br>
despite the lack of a talk. Very impressive :)<br>
<br>
I have a little bit of LUG business I wanted to discuss with you all.
As<br>
many of you know we've been meeting in the basement of LSC for about 5<br>
or 6 years now. They've always been very good to us and in the past<br>
we've helped with computer support and maintenance in return. More<br>
recently as support requests have dried up we've made small cash<br>
donations in return for using the room. That's all well and good.<br>
<br>
However, in recent months the prospect of finding another venue that<br>
might suit us better has been raised. I have spoken with the organisers<br>
at DoES Liverpool, a hacker space and co-working establishment on<br>
Hanover St. Many of you know and frequent it. They have the first Weds<br>
of the month free and are willing to accommodate us.<br>
<br>
See more about them here - <a
href="http://doesliverpool.com/">http://doesliverpool.com/</a><br>
<br>
The advantages to this as I see them are:<br>
<br>
1. The chance to join an already thriving community where other tech<br>
groups meet. Even do some cross pollination maybe.<br>
<br>
2. The building has a reception, good access and a working lift. Much<br>
more friendly to those with accessibility needs. Something I'm sure we<br>
all support. It also means we won't ever be stuck outside waiting for<br>
someone to come along with a key again.<br>
<br>
3. There's a full workshop with 3D printers, laser cutters and more<br>
should we want to run a hack session. We'd have to pay for materials
and<br>
perhaps workshop hire but it's an option.<br>
<br>
4. Decent wifi. I don't need to say any more about that one.<br>
<br>
5. Cleaner surroundings, if that bothers anyone. Their meeting room is<br>
very nice.<br>
<br>
I'll stop before this email goes on far too long. So, thoughts? Do we<br>
want to move? I'm open to suggestions.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Dan<br>
