[Klug-general] Crisis Meeting

[Karl Lattimer]

I'd love to come more often but the problem for me is that thursday  
is mid week and that means work in the morning and i need my beauty  
sleep.

The tyneside lug used to meet on sundays at a coffee bar (which  
didn't really have much in the way of connectivity) but the sunday  
made it pretty easy for everybody to get along. Car pooling is  
probably the best bet for how to put together a good strong meeting  
every month.

Also I think it would be a good idea to define topics for each  
meeting, for instance getting hardware to work in linux, recently  
I've had a battle with a conexant ADSL modem and came out victorious.  
These kinds of strange hardware devices which are supported and will  
become more widespread need a certain awareness of the technology  
involved and as ADSL is a major limiting factor in linux (because of  
the little support for out of the box modems) it would be good to  
share knowledge like this and maybe even produce install guides for  
the each of the distributions we use.

Regards,
Karl
