Hi everyone!
As Adam has already informed you, I am the new chairman. Hopefully you'll
think that's a good thing! I would like to thank Adam for doing a heoric job
through a time of adversity, with many other pressures on his time. My thanks
also to the rest of the comittee for enabling the LUG to run smoothly under
his direction.
For those who don't know me, I'm 27, I live in Gosport, and earn my living as
a software engineer. I studied Naval Architecture (specialising in small craft
design) at both Southampton University and the Solent University. My interests
include boats, aircraft and electronics.
At some point this week, I will post an overview of what I will be
concentrating on during my term in office. This was discussed in some detail at
the last meeting, and the feedback recieved was generally positive.
I think it is important to remember that everyone can participate in the LUG
to some degree (in fact, to whatever degree they wish) and I will be making as
many of the new iniatives open to everyone as possible. I would particularly
like to encourage people to give talks at our monthly meetings. Talks don't
have to be long, they can be about anything linux or FOSS related, you can
even do a talk to demonstrate a problem and ask for help. If you are willing
to give a talk, just let me know and I'll make sure you get to give your talk.
Our next meeting will be held from 10am (until about 4pm) on Saturday 3rd
November at Southampton University, in the ECS building. I would like to thank
Chris Malton for securing our normal room well into next year.
I hope to see many of you at the next meeting!
Tim Brocklehurst
