Hi Chris, You know infinitely more about Linux than I do and I enjoy the meetings very much. They are very informal - just a group of guys sitting around chatting, doing things on laptops and helping each other out with this and that. All very relaxed and you'll quickly find yourself feeling at home. The meetings are on the first Tuesday of every month and are kindly hosted by Tony Vroom at Linx in Peterborough. He sends a message with details in it just before each meeting. It's an ideal venue and Tony is an excellent host. We're very lucky and I hope appreciative.
Hope to see you at the next meeting. Officially they're 8 - 10 but people tend to arrive anything after 7 pm. Now you're subscribed to this list you'll see any info posted. Sometimes there is a flurry of chatter, sometime nothing. But a day or so before each meeting you'll see several "are we meeting" and "yes we are" messages.
