[Wylug-discuss] WYLUG meeting and group development

[John Robert Hudson]

Hi all

WYLUG has been in existence since the 1990s and has always had an Announce and 
a Discuss forum. I assume that someone is still moderating these lists.

It met fairly regularly until 2011 after which meetings largely became social 
meetings with occasional bursts of activity on the lists.

One reason why BradLUG was formed was because WYLUG was perceived to be too 
'technical’ for the increasing number of users coming to Linux after the rise 
of Ubuntu.

Personally I enjoyed the 'technical' presentations but wasn't interested in 
travelling all the way to Leeds just to socialise on the off-chance that 
something interesting turned up.

Though I will not travel to north Leeds for a meeting unless a particular 
subject comes up in which I am interested, I welcome the attempts to revive 
WYLUG but I think those attending the meetings need to tailor the group to 
their needs rather than try a predefined formula.

BradLUG has evolved a lot since its formation.

John
