Hey Tom, I'm glad you enjoyed your visit, and we'd like to thank you for you invaluable presentations.
Sadly speaking we did have a Wiki but it wasn't really a success partly because we seemed to work either one on one or prefferred to meet in person whenever we actually had content to discuss. The number of really interested people is easy to arrange into 'physically' meeting. The Ubuntu CD's would be great to have we managed to get around 30 (Ubuntu used to ship 10 packs once it came out). We had a pretty successful installation fest. a couple of years ago yet unfortunately we never had the time (thus human resources) to manage it again. I truely like the idea of the LUG brotherhood, that's something we never really tried and believe is worth trying. What do you guys think?
