Thanks for this, not sure if others agree but the lug site could host
information on all these topic, ÂAnd cross collaboration / promotion
does sound good, if we can then be a portal to further information,
it does raise our profile a little bit.
At the same time the lug site can provide information on free and open
source software from and links to the fsf and fsfe, and others, links
to examples (Tom posted a link to free software in India)Â so the
information is out there it is a case of putting everything together.
Something this list is good at.
The advantage for existing members is that if they provide business
around setting up / maintaining solutions then there is a chance they
could gain more contacts for work from, that which is good for their
business I guess. Also keeps any work gained in the south west.
A good argument for word press here as we could have a page for say
where free software is being used and update this as we find articles
that can be posted to the list, these can be added to the page on the
site at the top so it is kept fresh as articles on this do appear
often enough. ÂAlso if we are working on this as a lug, and others
are helping it means our work can be checked and if there are spelling
errors the can be corrected by others.
I think all this would really raise the groups profile and hopefuly
get more people thinking about free software.
