(blimey, is getting further and further away from Rob's original point, 
sorry!)

I don't really think that yahoo's purchase of upcoming really makes much 
difference either way, but if there are problems using it then it's fair 
enough.

However, I think that we should consider publishing the LUG meetings on 
meetup.com - it could be a good way of allowing people to find us who 
don't necessarily know what a LUG is. A quick search for "linux" in 
Wolverhampton, Great Britain comes up with thirteen people who have put 
their name forward wanting to be notified when a Linux Meetup near 
Wolverhampton starts. There are also smaller lists of people awaiting 
meetups specifically for RedHat, Debian and other related topics.

If it's what people want, I'd be happy to set it all up on behalf of the 
LUG.

Any thoughts?
