Dear folk, those of us 'well adrift' from the south can only attend 'virtual' of Jisi meetings or follow by email. I have never met folk 'in person' but I have learned a lot from the LUG members.

Nowadays I also speak over 'Google Meet' with two folk in Ukraine to help them speak with 'native English speakers'. They email me about a couple of hours before we speak on their Friday evening (about 5pm UK time)
My major problem, is old age 'forgetfulness' of when meetings are taking place.  I had not appreciated how bad it gets until you are there. With their persons in front of me I still mix up my daughter and son names! Ah! A reminder email arriving on Saturday mornings would help jog the memory and avoid me getting the wife's shopping at that time.
I feel most regretful that I have not played a fuller part in the LUG, which got me started in Linux Distro use such a long time ago. 

Let us do our best.
I can use email and VoIP meetings but regret I am not up to your continuous input steam program (name I forget). 

Thank you for considering me.
12 noon Saturday

Kindest regards

Hi Eion / All
No problem as I said one option would be to have a hybrid meeting were we use Jit.si when there is a physical meetup. 

So questions
1. How viable would this be for anyone attending the Plymouth meeting on Saturday ? 2. I can now sign in with github, so I do appear to be moderator, but we do need more than one moderator, I am busy Saturday at the tinkerers meeting in Paignton.
Who else is moderator ? I am guessing there is more than one person who is signed as moderator. I don't know how this works.
Would it be possible to have some sort of schedule thing on the lug server(s) to send out a message to the lug reminding people the morning of the meeting?
Eion, lets see if between now and next month we can fix this, so that we make sure Jit.si works properly and there is more than one person acting as moderator.
