[Klug-general] the future of KLUG

[Matthew Macdonald-Wallace]

Quoting james snyder <james.snyder at linuxmail.org>:

A few thoughts:

Where is most accessible by public transport?  Ashford? Maidstone?  
Canterbury? Rochester?

> which corporations / organizations could sponsor KLUG or encourage

Shepherd Neame?! :)

> who could host KLUG?

Universities/colleges are usually a good bet, there was an asylum  
project in Dover that used open-office and other opensource software,  
they might be interested too.

If not, it may be worth setting up an ANNOUNCE list.

> will KLUG operate any installfests and can anyone teach stuff like

I'm happy to help with installfests/configuration instruction and I'm  
working on the security stuff at the moment.

> does KLUG have or need an online blog presence yet?

Personally, I'd say no, but once we are running installfests/computer  
fairs etc, then definately.

> Could KLUG perform any other outreach services for the community?

Definitely a priority for me! :)

Cheers,

Matt
