Hi,<div><br></div><div>Firstly, I have to apologise for having missed the last two IRC meets.</div><div>It's not for lack of interest I assure you! Real life has simply intruded in unhelpful ways ...</div><div><br></div>
<div>I will be attending this months, because I believe there are a couple of topics worthy of discussion:</div><div><br></div><div>1. Should other LUGs follow what SLUG is doing, and become a committee of LA?</div><div>2. If so, is it even possible for LUGs in states other than N.S.W., where LA is incorporated?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Speaking for CQLUG, we're not even a club in any but the loosest terms, since we felt there</div><div>was no need for any formal structures amongst the dozen or so regular attendees of meetings,</div>
<div>or our readership on the mailing list.</div><div>We certainly aren't incorporated under the relevant Queensland legislation.</div><div><br></div><div>In addition we have the perennial favourite: what's doing for Software Freedom Day?</div>
<div>It's only a couple of months away, and while we here at CQLUG are still well supplied with CDs/DVDs</div><div>from the previous Linux Australia support, others might need more, or need to make other arrangements?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Our activity in that regard has been to help run an "exhibition" of Linux at CQ University as part of the</div><div>university's own Open Day, generally held the week before SFD ... which avoids the need to make our</div>
<div>own arrangements for insurance, or to impose on LA.</div><div><br></div><div>Hope to see you there!<br>-- <br>Don Knowles, Rockhampton, Australia<br>a Founding Member of Central Queensland Linux User Group<br>
