An 80GB IDE hard disk costs:
Maxtor 7200RPM - Lm 34.90
IBM 7200RPm - Lm33.50
Let's say everyone donates Lm2, taking out a calculator (or Kcalc)
if 20 people donate lm 1.75, we'll have Lm 35
I say we should organize an event and set the minimum number of
attendees at 20, and a small donation of Lm1.75
That way we 1) Socialize, 2) Discuss, 3) Buy a hard disk
Also, I just downloaded core 2 and will also be installing it later this
week. Maybe you can then help me once I inevitably break my system Kevin :P

By the way -
FEDORA CORE 2 is now released! 4 ISOs + 1 ISO for a rescue CD.
Of course if you want sources you would need to add more CDs - another 4 I
believe.
Will be installing later on this week - watch this space.

What about an outing with the aim of socialising? (oh sorry geeks don't do
that right? :-p) I mean of course we would end up discissing relevant
matters, but just getting to know eachother face to face is also important!
1. Introducing Linux to people seeing it for the first time (two areas
here, home and business)
2. Comparing specific distributions.
Hmmmmm not sure it's such a good Idea! my favoutite distro is Debian, but in
this case I would suggest pushing Mandrake/KDE, which has the best support
for Maltese out-of-the box.
This is an advantage which is tangable and easy to promote. Promoting open
source because of the Immense Choice and Variaty it offers is MUCH harder,
especially to the un-washed who do not even know that a choice can exist!
3. Evaluating Linux for a company solution
4. Offering advice on migrating to Linux
Also - about the mirror project - I'm not sure how many members we have
but I'm thinking HDD space will be the biggest problem to overcome, so
why don't we chip in a few pounds each and get say an 80 or 120 Gig
HDD. We are really talking about LM50 total !
Ouch! money! Well if 50 of us could pledge Lm1 each It could be done!
but if only 45 of us do
there is not much of a point.
so that's me and you makes Lm2
who's chipping in for the good of Manking (as waesel of I M weasel used to
say)?
What do you think guys (and girls of course)?
Oh yes Girls!! are there any girls using linux in Malta? It seems to me that
OSS is so heavly dominated by males! is it just my impression? if there are
any female users of linux out there please raise your hand

Hello everybody,
It has now been around 4 months since a committee was elected and we
have started some projects regarding the MLUG. We would like more
participation between MLUG members and so here is a short list of
things you can do to contribute to the MLUG:
1) Ideas. We have always discussed the prospect of organizing some
form of "outing" between MLUG members. This can be in the form of an
informal meeting, a seminar etc... If anyone of you has ideas
regarding what we can do, please send them here :)
2) Creations. We have only received one potential logo for the new
MLUG logo. This was contributed by Philip (and by the way Philip, I
really like version 2). If you'd like to have a go at re-designing the
MLUG's new logo, have a look at my previous email here:
http://mailserv.megabyte.net/pipermail/mlug-list/2004-March/001204.htm
l
3) Hardware. As you probably know by now, we're setting up a local
GNU/Linux mirror. Needless to say, "this ain't cheap" and we need your
contributions. Currently, we really need storage space (i.e. hard
disks) and DDR RAM. We're not asking you to buy new stuff (altough
you're more then welcome to do so, hehe), we're simply asking you to
dontate any hardware which you don't use anymore.
That's bascially it - three ways to contribute to the MLUG, now it's
up to you :)
Regards,
