Hi Fintan,

Yes you are - congratulations! :-)

Hope to see you at a meet in the near future.

Thanks to everyone who has subscribed so far, keep spreading the word - the
more people the better!

Just a quick introduction from me: I've been a member of North Wales LUG for
a while, they have a good number of people on the list, but with North Wales
being quite a large area it was always difficult to organise meets.  Since I
moved up to Chester I realised that there are many Linux / Open Source users
around here with no immediate LUG for them to go along to.  So I decided to
get things moving and start up the LUG.

My hope is that this list will be a place for us to swap ideas, experiences
and any questions, with meets being as equally informal initially.  I'm in
the process of setting up a forum on the website, I'll have more information
about that shortly.

Last night we had a mini-meet with a few of us who are on the NWLUG list
meeting in the Grosvenor Hotel in the centre of Chester.  I'm planning to
have another one in the coming weeks as the first official Chester LUG
meeting.

So any ideas or suggestions for the new LUG or what you'd like to see from
it are all welcome.

Les

Hi

I've just heard about the Chester LUG, great news. I live in Ellesmere
Port so this is by far the closest LUG.

Been dabbling in Linux for over 6 years now.

I work with AIX and HP-UX but my company is taking a shine to Linux so
things are looking up..

All the best.

Hi all,

I have now added a forum to the site that we can use for storing useful
information.  I've added the main topics I imagine would be of some use, if
you have any more topics you'd like to see let me know.

I made a couple of posts just to kick it off, so please contribute so I
don't look like I'm talking to myself!  If you have any tips, reviews /
experiences on some software then just add a quick post.  They don't have to
be long as you'll see.  As it builds, it should be a useful place to pick up
ideas and information.

I'm afraid you'll have to register to post, the only way to prevent
spamming.

Happy posting!

Les
p.s. I'm hosting a copy of the LUG's website at www.chesterlug.org.uk as a
backup because lug.org.uk have been running into some problems with their
server recently.

Hi all,

Thanks for joining the list, there's been a good response so far.

I'd like to organise a time for the first proper Chester LUG meet.  So I'll
start by throwing in a date - how would Wednesday 30th August sound to
everyone?

We could meet in the Grosvenor like the mini meet we had, any thoughts?

Thanks

Hi all

Unfortunately I have a prior commitment on the 30th, but I hope I can get to a 
meeting soon.
It may be cheeky of me, as I couldn't get to the meeting last week either, but 
can I say I don't like The Grosvenor as a meeting place? I don't do suits, 
and I'm not comfortable in a place with blokes in penguin suits (!) and 
toppers guarding the front door. How about somewhere a little more informal 
with better (and probably cheaper) beer, like the Mill Hotel, or the Old 
Harkers?

Cheers

Tim

Hi Tim,

I understand your problem, I have wondered about that.  Should we be holding
LUG meetings in a place where people like Richard Stallman, Alan Cox et al.
would be turned away!

I have no problem with either of those suggestions, but maybe we should
think about finding a pub with a good car park as well to make it easier for
everyone to get there?

Les

I think the Bull and styrup has a car park (upper northgate street).

As to the date it seems a few can't make the 30th, as a total stab in the dark 
how about the 29th?
 
  Dave.

Well that sounds like a possability then, I've never been in there but as
long as it's a place we can all sit around a table it would be fine.
Everyone happy with that?  Or any other suggestions?

As for the date, the 30th was a semi-arbitary choice.  Any of the following
dates would be good with me if they suit everyone better.

23rd, 24th, 30rh & 31st August and 1st September.

I can make all of these except 1st Sept. Another possibility would be the 
custom house which is near a car park.

Hi,

Does anyone have, or know someone who has experience with Oracle 10g,
specifically clustering / replication by any chance?  A company in North
Wales is looking for someone for a short term contract to configure some
production databases and give a little bit of training.

If anyone is interested, get in contact with me.

Thanks

Hi all,

The general consensus from everyone who has contacted me so far is that the
31st of August will be the best date for the first Chester LUG meet.

Hopefully the rest of you can make that date, if not the plan is that we
will be meeting monthly, so hopefully you can make the next.

I've had a good few suggestions for a venue, so I think I'll have to go and
try them all out...any excuse ;-)

For now though, mark in your diary - August 31st @ 7pm.

We'll sort out the venue soon, but it will be in or near the centre so it's
easy for everyone to get to.

Cheers

Les

Well it's a dirty job, but...
OK Les, 31st sounds good to me.

I've no problem with digging out my top hat and tail-coat for
The Grosvenor, but if you want something better suited to the
typical bearded, real ale-drinking *nix guru, how about the
Albion Inn on Park St.
http://www.pub-explorer.com/olpg/albioninn/chester/index.htm
It doesn't allow children (unlike, say, the family-friendly
Weatherspoons in which North Wales LUG occasionally meets),
but if no-one was planning on bringing along their younger
offspring, then it's worth a visit for the quality of the beer
alone :-)

> OK Les, 31st sounds good to me.

Not sure if I'll be around that evening, but it's as good
a day as any :-)

btw Hello to the group - I haven't posted here before, so a quick intro:
I work with voluntary and community groups, mostly in Staffs and Shrops,
helping them to improve their IT use through Free Software. I'm in
South Cheshire LUG (www.sc.lug.org.uk) and Liverpool LUG, from where I
already know a few of you. :-)

Regards,

 - Richard

Hi all,

Sorry I've taken a bit to send this, been caught up with work recently.

Thanks for all your suggestions on the venue, I've had some good feedback
for The Old Harkers pub.  So if everyone is happy, we'll try there for the
first meet.

So the meet will be Thursday 31st @ 7.  For those of you that don't know
where it is, it is just off City Road.  You can park on the road (should be
plenty of parking space in the evening) and the pub is just down the steps
on the canal.

Venue Details: CH3 5AL - http://www.brunningandprice.co.uk/pub2_1.html

I'll bring along a tux logo to put on the table so we can all find each
other!  Hope to see you all there.

Thanks

Les

Hi All,

Richard asked tonight for details about my karaoke player. The homepage 
is here:

     http://kibosh.org/pykaraoke

There are packages around for a few of the distros but it should be 
fairly painless to install from source. Packages for the latest version 
(v0.5) are in Arch Linux and the gentoo-sunrise repositories and are 
also available for the GP2X handheld. The previous version (v0.4.2) is 
in Debian (unstable), Ubuntu (Edgy) and FreeBSD ports - new packages for 
these are working their way through the system.

I've also written a ripper for converting CD+G karaoke CDs to the MP3+G 
format playable by PyKaraoke:

     http://kibosh.org/cdgtools

Cheers,
Kelvin.
