[dundee] TLUG website passwords

[Gordon Dunlop]

Hi Colin,

I talked to Jonathon Riddle on Saturday at the KDE conference, his is 
the official maintainer and he wants
to pass it on. He was asking if I wanted to do it, now that you have 
mentioned it, if you wanted to do it
that's fine or if you want me to share anything with you or help you O.K.

Gordon
