Discussions

We discussed the lug.org.uk webhosting situation and that we are now going to host our own site on our Virtual Dedicated Server (VDS) which is provided by www.contextshift.co.uk.

We discussed the pros and cons of static verses dynamic content and we agreed to stick with static site and have wiki for dynamic content for the time being.

We will also try use web services like www.huddle.net and our www.facebook.com group where possible.

It was suggested that people speak to their local independent computer shops and put up posters or supply flyers advertising about KLUG. We will work to add a flyer template to the website.

Activities

Many side conversations happened ranging from discussing programming to the best OS for an eeePC. Also Guillaume helped Dan try and fix his Grub problem with Fedora and Ubuntu dual booting and Alex explained to us about the solid state computer system he was working on for a shipping company.

Next Meeting

Our next meeting is planned for Saturday 25th October were we will attend the Linux Live Expo in London. Those interested in attending should register on the website www.linuxliveexpo.co.uk.
