Seems like they had a website or something up, but now Googling is sketchy at best... Any news on when they will meet next? Also, anyone been to a Suncoast Linux Users Group meeting last month? I saw where the meeting for today was cancelled.

#2

I missed the last PLUG meeting when I was on my cruise, and am not sure about the date of the next meeting (its like first thursday and third friday of every month, or something like that). I am trying to get ahold of Alex to find out.

As far as SLUG goes, I heard they were a bit splintered, with brandon, tampa, wesley chapel, etc all being different groups under the same name so not sure how to find out their schedule.

#3

Well, the slug website said today's meeting was cancelled, but I don't know if the others are meeting or not. First thursday as in this week??

#4

Actually yeah, Alex just emailed the list and its August 2nd at 5:30 pm. get ahold of me in irc, or on AIM at bordy240 for details on where the room is and whatnot.

Uh, yeah - I had the site up here. I just turned off the server a few days ago and totally forgot to turn it back on. I also have a Yahoo group set up.

I'll have it back up in the morning- going to bed now.

Yeah! I saw it was back up!! I even registerd and made a post! YEah!

I had to edit your email - you misspelled it. Check the site when you can.

#8

The site is up again - yet I'm no longer in Polk County. The old content is gone (that server ran into the bit bucket) and I started over.

Still tweaking it and it anyone wants to keep it going, I have no issue hosting it. Email/PM me if you want to head up the LUG and I'll give you access to change content.

Still can't decide Joomla vs Drupal....

Out of curiosity, is there still anyone interested in a Polk County LUG?

There is a Lakeland LUG that meets about once a month at the USF Lakeland campus:

Looks like an old thread, but I would be willing to start one up.

#15

You can try again, but the idea pretty much died quickly due to a lack of interest. Nearest LUG last time I checked was Tampa
