This version of the site is now live at http://ryedale.lug.org.uk so
have a look and bookmark it now.

I've been trying to contact various people to start the publicity going
and had a reply from the Linux Format team who say they are happy to add
our LUG to the list in the magazine.  I've also contacted Linux online
and the Open Document Project and hope to hear from them soon.  The
Linux counter team has been contacted and our entry is waiting in the
holding area for approval.  I'll contact the Ryedale.co.uk people too
and see if we can get a link from them.  I was going to contact the
council to see if the district's site might make a link for us, but I
can't see where a link might go so don't know if it's worth it.  Can
anyone else think of anywhere to try.  Should see if CSL has a intranet
we can try to get a message out with?

Anyone think of anywhere else?

OK, I don't know we need to go down that road just yet so I'll leave as
is for the moment.

Thanks very much.  I think we have a good start.  Another meeting would
be good. How about Mon 10th, Tues 11th or Wed 12th.  Maybe the beginning
of the next week might be more suitable.  What do you think?

Time to start brushing up on those poster designing skills!

Toodle pip,

Al
