What you are referring to has more to do with ‘SLUG the legal entity’,
rather than the technicalities. SLUG will always exist, whether an
independent legal entity, a subordinate of LA, or even officially
non-existant.

There is no reason whatsoever for the mailing list to go away.

So you are saying that slug.org.au continues.   It is just the 'owner' swaps 
to LCA.

 Do you have the jdk installed?
 
 To elaborate, do you have openjdk-6-jdk installed, not just openjdk-6-jre
 or other jre.

 James?

As long as LA take on the trading name Sydney Linux User Group we
should be able to keep the slug.org.au domain name.

I would like to see the SLUG list hosted by LA on their infrastructure
- again, reducing duplication of effort - but only if it continues to
be in the slug.org.au domain name.

LA recognize that local LUGs need local  lists-  they already host
lists for the Alice Springs, Coffs Harbour, and Central Queensland
LUGs.

My 2c on this issue..
As the company that donates the hosting to slug (rusty) we are happy either way.
It doesn't bother me to continue hosting, or to stop hosting rusty. Frankly the 
most effort goes into rusty from slug sysadmins.

As a longtime SLUG participant, I would be happy to see the volunteer burden 
reduced, and a merger with LA seems to make sense.
The SLUG identity, mailling list and google juice has some value, that should 
be preserved (and I am happy to continue to pay in the form of donating 
hosting).

thanks
Dave

[SLUG] [Offer] Python Tutorials

2011-03-02 Thread Samuel Marks
Good Morning,

Many of you (myself included!) don't know Python.

I'm doing a Web Technology unit where we'll be learning Python. After many
of us [mostly me!] posted links to Python tutorials, our Professor asked us
if we'd still like him to make videos.

I replied saying that we didn't need new Python videos and that he should
send an email out to all students, with this table;
