[Klug-general] facebook group?

[nic dan]

I take it you mean:

"Topics for talks are being discussed on the mailing list and will be posted here when arranged."
and a general google map...

as compared to....

"
The October 20, 2009
Linux SIG meeting is on the 3rd Tuesday of the
month 

at the Lakewood Fire Station, 5000 Steilacoom Blvd SW,

Doors open by 6:30 PM for

 [Here, A map with an arrow showing where the meeting is, is shown, but I can't include it here, due to hotmail limitations] then,

"Linux is quickly becoming
the preferred computer
operating system! 

Say good bye to expensive proprietary operating systems, viruses,
worms,


trojans, crashes, forced upgrades, infuriating pop-ups, repair bills
& 

 
get a better,
complete Linux operating system

with all the applications you need
for a very affordable price.

Now is the time to make the move to
Linux. 

We welcome you to join us. "


This isn't intended to be a slanging, but a discussion of possible website improvements,
..... to just be a little more 'welcoming & enthusiastic', that's all, ....if that's possible...?
No doubt whoever does the admin for the site puts in a fair amount of effort, which I applaud,
..... but why not more, & from all of us??
I bet if I'd asked for the best p*ss-take there'd have been overwhelming response LOL
[this is based on my assessment from personal experience since joining the klug list
 - I'm still trying to be friendly, in case no-one's noticed.....]
