I’d like to clarify a couple of points that have come up in the discussion about a revival of the group. My interest in linux and samba have been prompted by NVRs decision to to adopt them, I am trying to mimic for myself the setup they are building and learn as I go but I don’t envision them asking for outside help, though you never know. I also think it unlikely that any one of the very few people involved would want to give a talk on the project though I might if given permission to do so.
Clive suggested Railworld as a meeting place. I know they have recently cleared out some of the old portacabin type buildings they had to make way for other stuff but they might still be helpful. I can speak to the main man there and see what might be available. NVR don’t have any office space next to Railworld, what we do have is the station building which doesn’t have the space for meetings and which is fully utilised. NVR does have a suitable building, The David Ray Education facility, at its Wansford (Stibbington) site but I suspect it might be a bit far out/remote for people and after 16:00 has no cafe facilities except a small kitchen area for making hot drinks. Space in central Peterborough would be ideal I guess but maybe rare and expensive unless there is some community space somewhere. I will pursue the venue I have knowledge of here in Werrington. And get back when I have answers. I agree with Clive that the organisation could probably use some structure to what it does but I know nothing of the original aims and organisation of PLUG as it was first set up so hesitate to comment.
