[EdLUG] Meeting Roundup
Edinburgh Linux Users Group

Hi,
Apologies for missing the last meetup at the Alexander Graham Bell.
I agree with Tai's suggestion of a core group.
This is something the group has been after for a long time now.
RE: the mail archive although the existing setup isn't ideal the reason
we moved off the University's Sympa service was because the entire
service is protected by the University's single sign-on service, EASE
and this made it non-straightforward for users external to the
University to access the archive etc.
The only other alternatives I can think of would be to host our own
mailing list service (not trivial!) or piggy-back on Google groups.
Kind regards,
Mark
