The question then is what you want to do with the mail archive.

Hi, 

So to add a little more context to the discourse forum point.

Kenny from scotlug is setting up a discourse forum for scotlug and asked if we would like to use it as well. 

Specific details of its layout and setup for us aside. 

I think its worth a discussion as a possible opertunity to ease some of these issues.

Thanks 
Kris

I've been wanting to find a way forward with this. Having one person saddled with the responsibility is a bit much, a core group could be ideal.

In the meantime, I am open to taking this on ; I think we cross-communicated a couple of times (problems on my end perhaps) I was waiting for you to confirm things. Anyhow. Let's reset to zero.

I'd be up for meeting to go over this and taking over any online assets you want to share/handover,

(open invite) --> and discuss with anybody how to further progress our online presence whilst simultaneously reducing the maintenance requirements.

And this is what I’ve been facing from the group.  Nobody what’s to take responsibility.

Hi Jan,

That sounds like a bit more responsibility than I was going for - I'm totally new here, so I don't really want to be running the website at this point. I was just hoping someone could make me a Drupal username so that I can update the front page.

Best wishes,
Thomas

Hi Thomas

I’m happy to meet up with you to pass all the details on to you (obviously I’m not going to post passwords in an unsecured forum).  Paul was doing the tech side on the server so he’ll probably need to be there to let you know what he’s done on that side.

Regards

Jan

Hi Jan,

There was some talk at the meeting about pointing the URL to a discord forum, but I'm not sure if it was a final decision or when that would be ready.

In the meantime, if it's OK with everyone, I'd be happy to have a login to the current site, and I can try to update the front page with details of upcoming meetings.

Thanks,
Thomas

Who is taking over the website?

No one has ever been in touch with me about taking over anything to do with the domain, etc.

I note there was discussion about making the site more interactive however there have been no requests for member logins and the drupal template we picked had the option for drupal.

We still have hosting so if there is someone who is taking it over please get in touch (rathgild at gmail dot com) so I can pass on the details.

Hi EdLUG

Thanks to everyone who attended the additional meetup yesterday. Though it was at a different venue the turnout was good and we had an informative discussion.

Though December is traditionally when the Christmas meal is held, it was decided that we will meetup for drinks instead. Thus, the next EdLUG meetup will take place on Thursday 6th December at 7.30pm. However, the venue will change to the Alexander Graham Bell for this meetup. Future meetup venues will be confirmed in due course.

In terms of plans for 2019, EdLUG will continue to meet on a monthly basis. However, we felt that a transition period may be needed as we continue to search for a new venue. As such, one possibility is to alternate the nature of the meetups. I am looking into perhaps securing a room at the Edinburgh University central campus. However, this room may only be available every two months. As such we could alternate EdLUG meetups by having a talk one month and an informal meetup the following month, etc.

Other topics discussed included widening the scope of EdLUG to include all open source software and technology. This would allow us to use Linux as the basis for discussion, but not be limited to solely to this topic. Should this occur, a name change for the meetup would need to be considered. Also, changing the format of the website to simplify its operation was mentioned. Kris suggested using Discord which would allow for more people to participate online.

Feedback is welcome from everyone, please feel free to reply to this message with any thoughts or suggestions.

Hopefully see you all in December :)

Best Wishes
