Following on from my previous post about relaunching the Lincolnshire LUG, I thought I would share here the responses that I have received so far from the existing members who are on the mailing list.  This is the mail I sent: Lincs LUG: relaunch?

You can see that I have had a lot of positive responses, including a couple from members of neighbouring LUGs.  This has greatly encouraged me and lets me know that there is appetite out there for an active LUG in Lincolnshire.

If this is something that interests you; you live in Lincolnshire and aren’t already a member of the mailing list, please join so that you can contribute to the conversation and help us create a more active Lincolnshire LUG

I came back from OggCamp 2011 completely inspired to contribute something back to the Linux community after sitting in on Lorna Jane Mitchell’s talk about Open Sourcing your career.  Now, I am not a technical geek, and know little or nothing about code, applications or programming but what I lack in technical abilities, I more than make up for in social skills, networking and making things happen.  So I have joined the Lincolnshire LUG mailing list and emailed the members with an offer to take over the running/relaunch of the LUG, which has been dead for nearly 2 years!  I had previously discussed whether LUG’s were still viable/useful when I guest presented on The Dick Turpin Roadshow episode six.

I’m hoping to get a few responses to see whether it is viable to establish the LUG again, and I’m optimistic that it will happen.  I’m certainly fired full of enthusiasm to make a go of it.  If I build it, they will come
