It’s a rare occurrence that I post about Liverpool LUG and the meetings, as I thought a few people are not signed up to the mailing list it’ll only help to post it elsewhere. So to save rewriting what has already been posted, here is the original notification email.

Liverpool LUG Meeting
7th January 2009 @ 7:00pm
The Bar, 1st Floor, FACT, 88 Wood St, Liverpool, L1 4DQ

It’s coming up to that time of the month again, as it’s so damn close to new year I think we’ll keep it as a social night, unless someone wants to step up and give a talk.

As per usual, we’ll start at FACT and move on to another place if we feel the need to. We’ll be located in the Bar on the 1st Floor outside Gallery 2, keep an eye out for UMPCs, beards, and a plushie Tux. If a talk is on we’ll usually move from the bar to the conference room at about 7:15pm, if you arrive late you can get to the conference room via the lift (head to the 3rd floor) or if the lift is disabled ask a security guard.

Hope to see you all there

 If you’re thinking of heading down and not sure of the location then drop me a email, I’ll be getting into Liverpool at about 6:30pm at Liverpool Lime Street.

As part of a new year resolution (of a sort), I’ve decided to become more involved in the Linux community and one of the big stepping stones is the local LUGs. While ManLUG is active and quite easy to attend and keep up to speed with, some of the smaller local ones have fell into decline over the last few years. I guess a major issue is that we have such a well respected LUG within a few miles, Manchester LUG has been formed since 1994 and theres people in that group who have helped with major milestones in Linux (such as the MCC Interim releases). So today, I posted on the Liverpool LUG mailing list in a attempt to stirr up some action. Hopefully in the next few days we can get something organised, even if its just a pub meet it’ll be better than nothing.
