Is this LUG dead? Pushing up the daisies?
It's not a good sign when it's the person who manages the list asking
the question!
Is there any demand for a meet? I know we don't have a venue (and I'm
not offering one) but is there any demand that justifies trying to
find one?
Are we all happy with using the list, and it's just we have nothing to
say?
Just curious.

Hi Mark,
I personally don't think the LUG is on a level with the Norwegian Blue.
But with no social side, even an informal pub get together, it's
difficult to encourage that sense of belonging, that keeps a group
bonded. The answer to your question regretfully is that the Peterborough
Lug is on life support, /‘condition critical’/.
Questions posted on the monthly board are unfortunately almost always
beyond my technical competence, though I have been a user, off and on,
since the release of Fedora Core 4. Not before that because I had an
Apple tower at the time, sporting a PowerPC chip. These days I prefer
/‘deb’ /based distro’s over /‘rpm’ /ones for simplicity of use, and
currently run Linux Mint.
I generally just use my system until something goes wrong and then
search the web for a solution. My piffling little problems, usually
caused by my own ignorance or stupidity, never seem serious enough to
bother the professional system people who discuss issues way above my
level on this list.
Now retired I seldom do anything more on my machine, than keep my own
personal records up to date, and of course, roam the web.
I would like the LUG to have miraculous recovery and resurgence, and
would like to support it, I’m just not sure how. Sorry I can’t be more
upbeat about the prospects.
Best Wishes, George E Fuller.
