Reading the mission statement, I think it's the same one from when the DC LUG was set up nearly 4 years ago! The mission statement, it's a very broad and simple statement covering Linux in all shapes and sizes. (IMHO) And also KISS I think applies here. > Are we willing to form an "education task force" of volunteers, to support > schools within D&C Lugs boundaries ? > And / Or consolidate expertise with other LUGS in a cross lug group ? > Do we consider schools to be a legitimate "target" for canvassing ? Hmm, I'm on a few LUG lists since I'm no longer live in D&C, the Bristol one feels totally different to this one, and the Gloucheshire one is still quite a young LUG. (And I just lurk on those lists as well!) As far as schools are concerned in Cornwall are they not covered by Cornwall County Council's IT department? - there is a lot of red tape to cut thru there.
