When: 6:30pm, Thursday 12 September 2019 Where: Watermans Hotel (27 Salamanca Place, Hobart) (the old Quarry Salamanca) If you are planning to come along (even for a quick drink) it would be great if you can let me know. If a largish number of people plan to come along then I'll reserve a table.

I've been informed that the regular space we had at Enterprize in Launceston is no longer available to us. Our primary contact there has moved on, and my attempts to sound out the possibility of reaffirming our relationship with Enterprize resulted in a suggestion to try elsewhere. Obviously, there won't be a September meeting. For the past few years, attendance in Launceston has been pretty low. I'd been happy to keep things ticking over with the expectation that I would at some point have the spare time and attention to dedicate to regrowing and resolidifying the community we had here. With the situation changing, the amount of effort involved in finding a new venue/doing the outreach needed to make that worthwhile is more than I can currently give, and I no longer feel like I'm the right person to be holding the reins (I'm still happy to be supportive of any activity that's going on). As an organisation, TasLUG itself is a subcommittee of Linux Australia, but the running of local activites and meetings has been organised at a community level based on whatever time, interest, and enthusiasm people have. With that in mind, I'd like to encourage anybody who's keen to see continued TasLUG activity in Launceston to speak up and share whatever hope and energy you have. Regardless of where things go from here, I think we've had a good run over the past 11 years. Historically, TasLUG has come and gone many times since its first incarnation in the late 90s. If it's time for TasLUG to sleep in Launceston once again, then I'm proud of everything we managed to do, thankful for everybody who participated, and glad to know we'll be survived by TasLUG in Hobart <3 Cheese
