Thanks for your tireless efforts on belf of our group, Nick.Perhaps we don't need physical monthly meetings at all, maybe we would be better off organising say, 3 or4, major technical things a year viz:
Installfest - near start of academic year, for obvious reasons
expo, to showcase linux at home and in business, say mid-year.
further installfest a month later to follow up on interest generated by expo.
Incorporate somewhere in there some sessions (a suggested previously bu someone) on specialist topics - winmodems, SOHO mail servers, whatever.
In addition if people just want some social time to talk about their
latest geek exploits, show off their 20 GHz monster laptops, or whatever,
I'd rather meet in a pub or cafe where its convivial and comfortable.
Just some ideas -

Hello All Nick said: " It has been roughly a year since CLUG had a general meeting. At that meeting"
That means it must be two years since I came along fresh and
green but seeing a need for structure if CLUG was ever going to
be effective in the community.
But as people told me then, CLUG meetings are just an informal meeting of list members. The list is the only "official" think.
I know now that the list is also essentially a technical list. Any question longer than four lines is far too long to read, and
any reply that is longer than two lines is best expressed with a
URL.
That's the nature of the beast. 11 Lines. STOP JOHN.
See some of you tonight John
Seems it it time, again (annually), here & now, to:
"Formally propose - formation of the Canterbury Linux Community Trust."
All those in favour, please say Aye.
All those against, please say No.
User development will be a lot easier for CLUG with this under its belt.
All the best
Rik

The (neutral) fact is John, your posts gather credence the moment your email header shows you no longer post from Pegasus on Windows. :-| Do you need help achieving this?
