| 13:09.22 | crilly | I live in Aldershot. |
| 13:12.02 | crilly | I work in GL, though. |
| 13:12.29 | crilly | Do you guys have regular meets, or just as-and-when organised meets? |
| 13:20.17 | dick_turpin | morsing: >*< |
| 13:31.02 | morsing | crilly: No meets - GLLUG died in 2005 |
| 13:32.54 | crilly | Really? But the website was recently updated for a meet this year? |
| 13:36.27 | morsing | lol :) Ok... |
| 13:37.15 | morsing | Ah, the pre-FOSDEM drink... Yeah, ok |
| 13:47.18 | crilly | So other than that, it's pretty dead? |
| 14:03.23 | dick_turpin | GLLUG is very much alive for anyone will to get off their fat ass and actually support it by turning up. Sadly the Lug is still top heavy with people who just want to bitch and moan because it doesn't conform to what or how THEY feel it should work. They're a bit like Woolworths shoppers, nobody shopped there but moaned like fook when it closed down. |
| 14:03.37 | dick_turpin | willing |
| 14:08.13 | morsing | crilly: Yeah, GLLUG is dead |
| 14:08.35 | morsing | Even wethrin can't deny it anymore |
| 14:08.48 | dick_turpin | We shall see |
| 14:08.55 | morsing | 'twas fun back in the old days though, regular tech-meets and social meets |
| 14:09.07 | morsing | On a monthly basis |
| 14:10.00 | dick_turpin | actually you are right, thinking about it. The old GLLUG is dead, there are new kids on the block "Long Live GLLUG" |
| 14:14.05 | crilly | Hmm, I see. Not sure how a LUG should "work", given that it's just a mailing list and sitting in a pub once a week getting pissed. |
| 14:14.11 | crilly | How are you managing to get this wrong? |
| 14:14.14 | crilly | :P |
| 14:15.17 | morsing | crilly: No, it's not. GLLUG isn't a mailing list. GLLUG is monthly technical talks and regular install fests. And on top regular social meetings |
| 14:18.45 | crilly | morsing: Aaaah OK. That's a lot more serious than the LUGs up north then (I'm originally from Liverpool). |
| 14:18.47 | dick_turpin | morsing: What a crock of bollocks. Lug's are about people. They have nothing to do with install fests or technical talks. The days of only a few people understanding the black arts of installing Linux are well and truly over so you don't need install fests any more. |
| 14:19.01 | crilly | I can see why that would be more difficult to keep going. I would be happy to do talks though |
| 14:19.27 | crilly | I agree with dick_turpin to a degree, even though he is a dick. |
| 14:19.53 | dick_turpin | crilly: It's why the old Lug died. They used to have tech talks where you was executed if you dared speak during the lecture. They was of interest to about four people |
| 14:21.33 | crilly | Yeah I'll be honest and say I've never been to a LUG meet like that. At the Chester LUG we did have the odd talk (lukcily, the founder of the LUG was a professor at Chester Uni, so he had access to the resources needed, and for free). |
| 14:22.06 | crilly | But it was mostly, as you say, about people and getting them involved, being social and just having a laugh whilst kind of setting the context around Linux |
| 14:22.14 | crilly | Or technology in general. |
| 14:25.09 | dick_turpin | Most of the Lugs I've been to it's about chatting with the off Linux tit bit thrown in. True there has been talks but tbh I think the last one Wolves Lug had was four years ago. With Internet access, forums, wiki's and social media there's no real need any more. |
| 14:25.23 | dick_turpin | s/off/odd |
| 14:35.13 | crilly | That's the thing, social media is great, but it has killed off a lot of great initiatives and desire to now get down the pub and actually interact. it's pretty sad. |

| 14:43.09 | crilly | morsing: Aldershot. I work in Hayes in GL. |
| 14:43.34 | morsing | crilly: To be honest, I was quite active back 8-10 years ago, but I was living in London and was new to the city and didn't know anyone. Now, it takes me two hours to get in, I have friends and family where I live, and am so busy in my spare time I just can't justify going to a GLLUG social |
| 14:43.41 | morsing | crilly: I used to live in Hayes :) |
| 14:43.52 | crilly | morsing: Sorry about that :( |
| 14:44.02 | crilly | Are you OK? How many times have you been stabbed? |
| 14:44.07 | crilly | :P |
| 14:44.10 | morsing | Don't be sorry, it's awesome! Wouldn't give it up for anything :) |
| 14:44.23 | morsing | Ah, sorry about living in Hayes, yeah lol :) |

| 16:46.39 | gw280 | moomoo |
| 16:49.16 | crilly | yaMatt: :) |
| 16:49.36 | yaMatt | kind of got to put the next one together though# |
| 16:50.01 | yaMatt | not sure whether to tap up Google again because they've been irritatingly quiet, go for a popular pub, or go back to Mozilla |
| 16:55.16 | crilly | How close to Hayes do you meet? |
| 16:55.27 | crilly | I could come from work and then make my way back to Hayes and drive home. |
| 16:55.41 | yaMatt | I am to be pretty central teetering between west and east london a bit to keep it as fair as I can |
| 16:56.05 | yaMatt | I don't fancy doing it in someone's living room if they live right at the end of the metropolitan line ;) |
| 16:56.48 | crilly | Heh! |
| 16:57.17 | yaMatt | so we 'just' had an afterwork one at the end of Jan for FOSDEM |
| 16:57.38 | yaMatt | meaning I intend the next one to be a full weekend thing |
| 16:58.01 | crilly | Nice! I work Saturdays, but I would be happy to come down the Sunday. |
| 16:58.11 | crilly | So are you the LUG founder then, yaMatt? |
| 16:58.42 | yaMatt | heh, definitely not founder, I think I was 2 when it was founded ;) |
| 16:58.54 | dick_turpin | The Lug rejuvenater would be a better title |
| 16:58.57 | yaMatt | but I've stepped in to organise events for the last few months |
| 16:59.11 | yaMatt | REJUVINATOR! I love it |
| 16:59.20 | yaMatt | like a dictator but with more action |
| 16:59.38 | dick_turpin | I salute you and worship the new order |
| 16:59.44 | crilly | And more Rejuvination |
| 16:59.45 | yaMatt | actually that's a good point, haven't done a Sunday one, that's a good idea |
| 16:59.53 | crilly | It is a good idea. |
| 17:00.03 | crilly | I am a good idea. I like my Sunday idea. You should buy into it. |
| 17:00.09 | dick_turpin | It cant be that good, Matt had it? |
| 17:00.30 | crilly | I am not Matt, I am Mike. |
| 17:00.55 | yaMatt | heheh |
| 17:02.02 | crilly | But seriously, I'm up for attending more if the peeps are decent. |
| 17:02.20 | dick_turpin | Starts with an M, plus all M's look the same to me. :-) |
| 17:03.50 | dick_turpin | crilly: If you go others will go as nobody likes to be left out of a thriving group. If at each meet Matt 'ups' the numbers by one or two stands to reason the attendance will grow. |
| 17:04.39 | yaMatt | crilly, yeah, I'm hoping I can get some people to do small individual project talks this time around, should be fun |
| 17:04.55 | yaMatt | big corporate talks are *yawn* |
| 17:06.11 | crilly | Ah OK, OK. I am currently using my PDT time (Personal Dev Time) in work to learn MongoDB, so I don't mind doing a brief intro to that? |
| 17:06.51 | crilly | If that's the kind of stuff you mean? |
| 17:10.54 | crilly | Unless you mean much more low level stuff, like... erm... I dunno. You tell me :P |
| 17:18.08 | crilly | feels he has killed the conversation |

| 21:37.05 | Armand | Oh geez.. |
| 21:37.44 | yaMatt | not an area I'm familiar with |
| 21:37.50 | crilly | Lucky you. |
| 21:37.55 | Armand | Not an area you want to be... :P |
| 21:38.16 | crilly | Indeed! :D |
| 21:38.26 | Armand | I spent too many years there. |
| 21:38.50 | Armand | I'm living in West Drayton now, but not for much longer. |
| 21:39.04 | crilly | I moved to Aldershot from a nice area up north. |
| 21:39.30 | Armand | OOoohhh.. you only *work* in Hayes? |
| 21:40.00 | crilly | Oh yes. I wouldn;t live there. I might be a scouser, bt I'm a posh scouser with standards :P |
| 21:40.22 | Armand | Indeedy.. it's a shithole, to be blunt. :P |
| 21:41.53 | crilly | I feel sorry for some of the lads in work that live there. It's expensive living there for fuck all property wise and a shitty area. |
| 21:45.13 | crilly | Oh well. |
| 21:49.47 | crilly | So I am going to have to work out the fencing in KVM if I am to setup some clusters |
