just found your blog man (I was trying to locate when plug was
officially founded).
I noticed that you mentioned:
"Some claim that there is a Steering Committee associated with PLUG,
however the names of the members of this group have never been released
to the public."
I can conform that there was in fact a "steering committee" (I should
know, I was on it).
I have long since forgotten the names of the others on it. The committee
was disbanded shortly after
the members agreed to a base set of rules to found plug as a 'semi
professional"
community oriented Linux users group.
That founding occurred back in mid 1998. most of the list didn't start
getting seriously archived until early 1999.
I kn ow Der.hans was pretty much in there from the beginning (you still
on list Hans?).
About 4 years ago, I quit coming to the east side meetings
(transportation was an issue and as I am visually impaired,
driving was out of the question). I have been mostly listening on this
list for some long time.
anyway, there's been a lot of technical stuff on here over the years
(and some x-posting from AZIPA and
a few other groups linux related).
These days, I am mostly on OS X but i do putter around with linux under
virtualbox. I seem to
have fallen off the learning wagon and am now trying to get back into
the "scene" as it were
(and its a long climb and a lot of bad habits to undo). I really wish i
could get some rides to
the east side meetings but given i am still out here at 83rd ave. near
Indianschool road, its going
to be hard to arrange. I haven't seen any notices for a west side
meeting in some time though
(you still doing that tuna?).
anyway, I thought I'd pop on list and remind you guys that some of us
old guard are still about.
