[LUG] noob in cornwall but not to linux

 

Hi all, just a shout out to say hello and introduce myself, hope yo don't mind:) 


I'm Jay, a Scot now living in Newlyn, My wife is from the area and she's finally 
free from her old job shackles to move from Surrey, where we have lived for the last 
18 years. 

I've been doing Lug stuff for what seams like forever, In 1998 there were 2 people 
in a pub, me and John! at some point between 1999 and 2004 I was appointed Lug admin 
for Surrey Lug until time became an issue and following our meritocratic ethos and I 
handed over to JW, JW has championed the group since then and fostered many a link 
up with Hants Lug, Portsmouth and East Sussex to grown the group to quite a size. 
Some meet ups have been in excess of 30 people for BaB and the mails list has around 
100 active subscribers. 

So I'm hoping theres a big community in this part for the world, as I'm always 
hearing about good things that started in the south west. I get the feeling people 
are a little further up towards Exeter, so really I was looking to find out who is 
down this way (Penzance). 

I'm also looking out for hackspaces, but it looks like the local one didn't get any 
traction … assuming it's just gone underground for a bit. 

Other than that, I'm a full time freelance software dev that finds a little time to 
occasionally improve the open source software I use and help people who have 
converted to Linux and are stuck. 

Looking forward to getting to know people down here.

J
