Lets hope that things continue to get better for your Dad. Welcome back too :)

I noticed the listing in Linux Format as I started to read it last night so 
yes we are listed now. Excellent work.

I have noticed on lug.org.uk we are still marked as starting even though we 
now have a basic website up and running. In truth I guess we still are 
starting but I read somewhere that once you get your website up and running 
you will be changed from starting to active.

I've offered to do a talk for Scarborough LUG in June. I would also be very 
happy to do it for RyeLUG also (sooner or later I don't mind). It's entitled 
Linux Mail Server: An Overview. It's just intended to give Linux users (and 
potential Linux users) a brief overview of the tools and services needed to 
run a Linux mail server. If there is real interest I will go into depth (if 
requested) at a later date(s). I would also be happy to do some other talk 
such as An Introduction To Linux to try and get some Windows users interested 
in looking at Linux. Two genuine offers there :)

As an aside because of the bank holiday I have done today what I normally do 
on Wednesday nights thus leaving me free to go to the Scarborough LUG meeting 
on Wednesday night. If you have time to go I'm offering you a lift. Just let 
me know.

We'll try to get a RyeLUG meeting organised Al in hopes that Ash and others 
pay us a visit.

Regards,
Paul.
