Might not be necessary, time will tell.

I should add that first order of business will be deciding on a communication platform. I know mailing lists and IRC are the traditional solutions, but I’m trying to start a LUG that is more accessible to newbies who want help using Linux and don’t necessarily want to learn how to connect to IRC or learn mailing list etiquette. I’m going to push for some kind of forum software, possibly Discourse.

I’m in the process of setting one up right now.

If you’re looking for easy, meetup.com probably is the way to go. Personally I’m leveraging the connections I made via a recent end of 10 install event I organized. My state also has a directory of LUGs that I got added to. Our first meeting is in January so we’ll see how it goes 🤞

This is acceptable.

My fav is finding one of these via the top google result

If it was called anything but Sextris, they fucked up.

I’ve already passed along the Slackware patches to our GNOME maintainer and he wasn’t impressed. And that’s about all the effort I care to expend, since I wouldn’t be caught dead using GNOME. It’s not for me.

It’s technically possible to get GNOME 49 working without systemd, but it’s merely kicking the can down the road.

I’d much rather have a leader willing to admit when they don’'t know something than one who pretends to know everything better than everyone in the room.

No relation.

Where does LP work these days, anyway?
