Good comment all round.

The group has certainly morphed just as the main distros continue to do 
so. Groups of people have moved on also.

What hasn't happened more recently is other groups of people moving in 
to join our little group...

There's certainly activity other than just on the maillist. At the 
Beeston Beers meet last Friday I actually got a complaint that there's 
too much mail on the main maillist!


There's a lot of passion for our little OS still. Hence the meets and 
discussions and fun continue.

Next Nav tech talk is Chris from Nottingham University on Supercomputer 
experience(s). Watch this list for further details!

(And then there's food 'n' beer again, this time curry :-p )

Cheers,
Martin


Aside: It's certainly disappointing that Microsoft has been able to 
bulldoze the linux Netbooks off the retail shelves...
