I'm one of the sorry buggers who ran LCA08, I'll see if I can get the
transcode scripts off the AV team :-)

Actually, we'll be (trying to) record a talk this tuesday. The AbiCollab
talk at LCA turned out to have no sound... so we're having a go at the
LUV meeting, where Martin is repeating his talk.

I'm not sure what our membership is doing, but meeting attendance had
been going down a bit from 70-odd. Seems to be pulling up again at the
moment to the mid 50s.

We had an -um- issue a while back which I thought demonstrated a
discrepancy between current membership and what I think new members want
from LUV.

Do any of your LUGs (or UUGs :-) have a mission statement? LUV doesn't
have one and I was thinking that *if* we had one, we'd have a base
document we can use to point people at what the LUG is for and what
sorts of behaviour we will and will not tolerate from members... so
writing up something is on our committee agenda for the next few months
I guess.
