[Lincs] Lincoln LUG: launch of new LUG

[chris@majicsoft.co.uk]

I am saddened to hear a new member come along with good intentions of re-invigorating the LUG, then turn about face and setup a localized lug, something that's been discussed in the past, and universally agreed that it would do more harm than god to the lug at large.

Anyone who hasn't already done so, please come and sign up to the Lincs LUG forum: www.ricey.co.uk/llugforum

Dear colleagues, and fellow Linux users,

You may remember that I originally posted a mail to the mailing list 9
days ago proposing a Lincs LUG: relaunch.  I was overwhelmed with the
majority of positive responses that I received; overall I received
unique responses from 15 different mailing list members.

I have had time to reflect on the responses and the feedback/ideas
that came from those who responded.  The main proposals put forward
indicated a need for a smaller, more localised LUG, with more frequent
localised meetings.  Bearing your feedback in mind (as well as my home
location!) I have approached lug.org.uk and have had permission to
start a Lincoln LUG.

The Lincoln LUG mailing list is at
https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/lincoln and is open to all
to join.  I am currently in the process of sourcing a venue for our
first meeting in September and I will post details of the actual date
and location via the mailing list.  I am also setting up the Lincoln
LUG home webpage and will post details of our meets on there as well.

I am hoping that our central location within the County will make this
a viable LUG in its own right, and of course, anyone from the
Lincolnshire LUG or indeed members from neighbouring LUGs who can
travel to a meet, are most welcome to attend.

I am looking forward to this exciting opportunity for Lincoln
GNU/Linux users and hopefully, I will be meeting some of you soon.  :)

Kind regards

Becky Newborough
