David is good to hear from you again, I really was away for far too long</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I think the most important part of any LUG is community. If we can build a foundation we can build on top of it. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Let me start with a little background. I've been a Linux desktop user since 1997 when I installed my first Red Hat box and stuck with Linux right up till Windows 10 when I switched back (honesty can't remember why, but it was probably Steams fault). I've been running Linux servers for almost as long and live playing with new things. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I decided to come back the Linux desktop with Ubuntu 20.04 - I'd only planned to do a duel boot, but might have wiped my Windows boot loder so until I can be bothered to fix it I'm all in again. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">When I went to Dundee I got involved with the Dundee LUG and eventuality was elected chair of its successor and ran the LUG for five or so years till I moved back to Fife. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">In the current world I wouldn't suggest planning a meeting... But it wound be nice to have a LUG that meets in person. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">How about a quick straw pole? </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">How wound you like to build a community? I'm not sure mailing list still have the same reach they used to, but there's are options now</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">* mailing lists</div><div dir="auto">* irc (assuming people still use it?)</div><div dir="auto">* discord </div><div dir="auto">* <a href="http://matrix.org">matrix.org</a> - this one's new to me but so far I'm actually loving it (anything I can self host usually wins my vote) </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Stuart</div><div dir="auto"><br></div>

<div dir="auto">I just wanted to jump in here and say hello. I
started this LUG back in 2002 but stopped being active when I
moved to Dundee for uni where I helped run the local LUG for a
while, till the focus moved more to a HackerSpace. </div>

<div dir="auto">Now I'm back on home turf I was looking for some
