[EdLUG] Meeting Roundup

Fri Nov 16 12:20:55 UTC 2018

Hi Folks,

We had a discussion about that at the last ScotLUG meeting and we've
decided not to go ahead with setting up Discourse at the moment.

Thanks,
Kenny C.

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
