The meeting on Sat was quite enjoyable. my points are:-
1) There appeared to be more HantsLug members that SurreyLug unless
there are lots who are a member of both
2) The space available at RH was just about adequate to cope with everyone.
3) There is a Kitchen at the Aldershot meet (I seem to remember one at
Sotn as well) so free Coffee could be made available.
4) It was nice being able to catch up with some RH staff especially the
one who got me through my RHCE at first go! I'll have to do it all again
then RHEL 5 is released though. Hint to Sean G, play with FC6. Most of
what is in FC6 will be in RHEL5. This way you won't have to wait for
Centos 5 to get released. This reply was written using T'Bird on RHEL 5
Beta.
5) The classrooms while it was nice to have a machine you could load
<add distro of choice> onto without accdentally overwriting your own
distro were a little restrictive. This is because (probably) we are used
to having tables and plenty of space in out Aldershot & Soton Meetings.
6) The more I think about it, the use of two classrooms had (IMHO) more
bad parts than good. I never got to catchup/talk/help many of the Hants
members who were in the room used for the talks. The arrangements at
Soton with the talks being made in a separate room will be available
v.soon at Aldershot. I think this works better.
Overall, an enjoyable day. I got postfix configured and the Sendmail
Plugin for Websphere Message Broker working fine as well as removing DRM
from three .WAV files.
