This is hardly the busiest mailing list, so no probs here.

I'm all in favour.  If it is within the UK and to do with Ubuntu, then
it must be relevant.

Sounds good to me, I'll make a note for any future announcements I do for
Liverpool LUG. Usually, I only make one post a month regarding the LUG 
and I avoid sending out reminder emails to anywhere except the main LivLUG 
list.

If an [EVENT] (or on a another fairly high volume list I'm on [ANN], 
short for announcement, is a desirable prefix) then I'll certainly try 
to help people

We have about 14 young hackers from DFEY from all around the UK heading 
to London this weekend.

The support everyone has given us, getting us to this point where we can 
go events like this, is something we really hold dear to us.

The first anniversary of DFEY-NW's first meeting is on the 31st August, 
at the time a landmark of months of hard work but with an uncertain 
future - whilst there's is lots more to do, we have come a long way 
since then.

Things have certainly changed since the days of nearly getting kicked 
out of the place we were meeting because a pub was the only convenient 
place we could find to meet, despite most of us being underage! :P

If you aren't familiar with Digital Freedom in Education & Youth, please 
drop past and take a look at our new website at www.dfey.org

Many Thanks,

Tim

(DFEY-NW Co-organiser)

Hi Andrew,

It wouldn't hurt to add [EVENT] to the subject of future mailings. 
Personally, I have no objections to people raising events that, in best
judgment, are of interest to Ubuntu users in the UK.  However, if the
list becomes overwhelmed by many events then i might think differently.

I'm not expecting more than a couple of [EVENT]'s per week, so i don't
think it will add too much traffic to the list.  However, what do others
think?

Kind Regards,
Dave Walker

Suprisingly, this is one of the best lists in the UK to announce open
source events to, as the Ubuntu UK list covers alot of UK foss users who
don't really post or get involved anywhere else.

Do we have any official guidance on the posting of events to the list?

I'm not young, and I'm in the North West of England, and I don't mind. I  
wish the Google thingy said 15-81 and we could have all gone.

I'm not young, and I'm not in the North West of England.  I know these
