I don't know who herds the Hampshire cats these days, but here's a request
from lugmaster for whomever that is.

Hello Lugmasters.
I'm in the process of looking through LUG mailing lists and other details
to make sure they are active, in preparation for future migration work and
to try to ensure that I'm not doing unnecessary work for LUGs that have
ceased, as well as to ensure that visitors are provided correct information.
To this end, please could you check your LUG listing (including the
Lugmaster name and email address) via
https://lug.org.uk/lugs/ and do one
of the following:
- Log an issue at
https://github.com/lugorguk/lug.org.uk-website/issues
with any changes necessary; *or*
- Create a pull request with the appropriate changes to your LUG's
listing against the "lug_status_update_2025" branch (
https://github.com/lugorguk/lug.org.uk-website/tree/lug_status_update_2025),
where I will initially be applying the changes; *or*
- Message me directly with any changes, or to confirm that the LUG
details are correct and nothing needs changing.
As well as helping us ensure that we are showing the correct details for
your LUG, I will update the "Entry last updated" date which will help keep
your LUG listing appearing 'fresh' to the search engines and visitors.
Additionally, it is worth noting that, if your LUG has active social media
presence or chat channel (e.g IRC, Telegram, Discord), we can also add
those to your LUG listing (see, for example, the 'Silicon Corridor
<
https://lug.org.uk/lugs/South-East/Berkshire%20and%20Thames%20Valley%20-%20Silicon%20Corridor/>'
and Portsmouth
<
https://lug.org.uk/lugs/South-East/Portsmouth%20and%20South-East%20Hampshire/>
LUG listings). To request this, please log an issue on GitHub as above
with the details, or email me directly. Please check that any URLs to the
channel that you provide to us are set up not to expire (where they default
to be time-limited).
If you are aware of any other LUGs that have stopped operating or changed
Lugmaster, please can you post that to the Lugmaster list to allow other
Lugmasters to chip in if they can confirm or have information to the
contrary. I will also send an email of LUGs that I currently believe to be
inactive in the next few days for other Lugmaster to advise if any might be
incorrect.
Any LUGs that haven't checked in by the start of May, I will attempt to
reach out to the last-known Lugmaster and, failing that, other contact
addresses to check the LUG's status before we set them to inactive (unless
we host the mailing list and I can see activity in the past year).
Thanks
Gavin
