Looking back on this I responded too quickly but part of my intention was to help spark things a bit.
The original concept of a LUG was never under attack - after all the concept is a basic one: meet people, learn and be introduced to new things - but that's rehashing what people already know. Juan, what I get from your email is that you want a PROGRESSIVE clug. Well, make it so! What are socket swarms? Well, I went and looked it up. That's pretty damn cool. But I also like discussions on Apache Web Servers (for example) - they may not be cutting edge but they still very much a part of our daily lives. And in the end, the real glue are the people and the connections we make. On 01/10/2017 06:51 PM, PUB @ Keystreams.net wrote: > That's one.
