Warren, MLUG is real Open Source Society community, and this is how it started long time ago by Ramon. There were even [email protected]. However we are very limited in human resources and ended up with 1 mailing list and 1 website. I ask everyone to contribute to this resources instead of making new.
Your site is just misleading and I see it as abusing OSS term. What does classified.*, radio.*, watchtv.* ossmalta.com has common with OSS??? You are building your own portal and better use different name for it. The primary goal for OSS is to promote and advocate use of open source software.
