[SLUG] 10 Years

[Ross Kendall]

Hi folks,

I'm still here as well. Been moving house and renovating lately, so not 
much time for other stuff.

Unfortunately the LUG had been been pretty quiet for the the 5 years 
I've been a 'member'. I think it must have lost it's life when a few of 
the key members moved out of the area. There has only been a handful of 
meet-ups since I joined the list, and list activity is very quiet.

I'm a web developer, I use opensuse linux on my desktop and laptop, have 
a Nokia N900 mobile phone that runs Maemo linux (even have openoffice on 
it), and run CentOS and opensuse on my webservers. I'm probably more 
interested in discussing linux use on webservers or mobile (not android, 
but Maemo, Meego, Moblin,Tizen and Mer, etc.) So *@Fintan, definitely 
interested in Raspberry Pi*.

I feel a bit of the odd one out when it comes to desktop, because I use 
KDE on opensuse - and I don't really like Ubuntu and Gnome. I've found 
what suits me on the desktop and I'm well past the stage of trying out 
lots of distros (except for maybe tablet and mobile phone - where I 
think the future is).

I would be more inclined to organise or attend a meet-up if I saw there 
was some real discussion of linux on this list.

Cheers,
Ross.
