Never having set foot in a local meeting (the commute from Montreal is too long :) ) I'm not known to any of you except through my rare contributions to this list. But, it's a job that can be done remotely and I am often near a computer, so I'd be willing to help with moderation. I can't remember exactly how I got here. It would have been one of two similar 'campaigns'. First, LUGs started to disappear at some point. Frequently having questions in those years, I started to search for alternatives to the LUGs that were folding around me. The second was after I moved to Montreal. In 2017 the annual Debian Conference was hosted in Montreal. I got involved since I was a debian user and mlug has been for all intents and purposes inactive, so I figured I meet the debian québec gang (I think some of you may have met anarcat from Montreal. He gave a packaging presentation in TO, I think). One of the things I was asked to help with was publicising the event to Canadian geeks. So I had another go at finding still existing LUGs in order to spread the word. Having written all that out, I think it was the 2nd, Debconf related, campaign where I discovered GTALUG. I've been on this list, and hanging in #debian-quebec on irc @oftc (joeDoe on irc) and going to pre-pandemic and resently restarted debian-quebec get-togethers ever since :) I only once had a Linux job that lasted (~1 year) until the Dotcom boom went bomb. In other words, my interest in Linux is purely as a home user and advocate. My last job was in fact very un technical: crossing guard :) Let me know if you'd like me to help moderate. -- Znoteer znot...@mailbox.org --- Post to this mailing list talk@gtalug.org Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
