There has been activity, no heavy traffic but interesting topics nonetheless. So no, nothing wrong, just that Linux is flawless, we don't need to ask for help after every program installation or system update :D Just kidding of course. As I mentioned in clug-talk finding ways to spread Linux here in Calgary is a noble goal. And I'd like to help out. Linux has been good to me and my family, and now it's time to give back. > To my knowledge we have only four Tier Two members at this time, so if > you want a vote you can fix that at our next two meetings. Sure, that's an easy fix. > More topics to share are still very welcome! <ramble> Squid, DansGuardian and Openfire IM transports worked great for me when my kids were learning the Internet ropes. Have found references to the first two scattered across MLs. Having a HowTo section would be a good addition to clug.ca and a bridge between unexperienced users and the club meetings. Yes, there are plenty of articles "out there", but links on Internet are not persistent (although they should). If there is interest I can certainly help with writing it. Are Vim and Emacs only for geeks? With everyone using a computer today, learning a powerful editor isn't a bad thing. Granted, I've met developers that hate both. Having all the topics nicely organized makes it easy to contact schools and demonstrate what Linux can do. Kids will love it. Parents will be surprised to see the other (bright) side of today's software (Edubuntu or Fedora Education anyone?). And schools may even be interested to learn about software tools with names that don't start with Microsoft. Yeah, you can get disk encryption without paying for a "professional" license and one that works with actual passwords not a password-less usb stick. </ramble> > Thanks for your attention. Thank you, Mel and will see you on Apr-8. -- Viorel
