EULUG invitation

[Rik van Riel <riel@humbolt.geo.uu.nl>]

Hi LUGers,

This is an invitation to all Linux User Groups that are
near to or associated with universities, hochschule and
technical schools.

I invite you to the EULUG (European Universities' Linux
User Groups) project, which is meant to bring all European
LUGs (with a lot of students) together so we can exchange
knowledge, help eachother out on problems and think about
nice activities to do with our LUGs...

(Linux Bierwanderung is one thing, but there could be
hundreds of other fun things -- what a shame that every
LUG only has a few ideas and we haven't combined them yet)

The main forum I had in mind for this are e-mail lists and
a web page where we can set up pointers to local projects,
activity ideas, photo reports of fun events and calendars.

For now, only the mailing lists are fully set up, I am
still working on the web pages (and frankly, I could use
some help from a graphics artist)...

The mailing lists are:

eulug-action	What should we do with our LUG
eulug-announce	Announcing fun activities, new software, etc..
eulug-devel	Guru-talk, software development
eulug-help	Help, this-and-that isn't working! Please...
eulug-misc	The dreaded miscellaneous (and fun discussions)

Since not everybody from an LUG will like all of this,
I have set up a machine that's powerful (read: large)
enough for everybody to individually subscribe to only
those mailing list(s) (s)he likes...

There are also WWW-browsable archives of the lists (web
robots are denied access to those) available on the web
site.

Until now, only our own LUG (UULUG) and the Spanish 
Asociacion Universitaria GPUL have joined this effort
(in fact, the GPUL has 'harvested' your adresses:-)
so the archive is still waiting to be filled up by
your efforts...

<your URL?>

I hope you will find this effort interesting to at least
pass on this e-mail to your LUG's members and/or decide
to subscribe to one or more of our mailing lists.

Of course, access isn't restricted to our original target
group at all -- if you think it could be interesting, just
subscribe or tell others to subscribe, university LUG or
not, everybody's welcome...

regards and best wishes for 1999,

Rik van Riel.
