From rick at linuxmafia.com Fri Jul 11 03:53:18 2003 From: rick at linuxmafia.com (Rick Moen) Date: Fri Jul 11 02:53:19 2003 Subject: [dvlug] ATTN Web archive readers: This mailing list is available! Message-ID: <20030711095318.GL26899@linuxmafia.com> This is a placeholder message, aimed at people reading the DVLUG Web archive. Back around 1999, Brian Wallace , the founder of Diablo Valley Linux User Group in Concord, Califoria asked me to set up this list for his group, so I did. He remained the sole listadmin for several years, and only a few people ever joined. Moreover, _nobody_ ever posted messages. Brian eventually ceased responding to my e-mail, and eventually the DVLUG Web pages (which I believe were on a free hosting service) vanished, too. I know people occasionally check the list archives, because I see the activity in my logfiles. Maybe they're looking for a Linux user group in Contra Costa County, California? For Walnut Creek? Pleasanton? Pleasant Hill? Lafeyette? The Lamorinda area? (Please pardon the foregoing name-sprinkling: It's for the benefit of the Google index.) Anyhow, if you _are_ such a person, don't be dismayed: There may not be any DVLUG, but you can recreate it if you wish. This list remains usable for anyone considering doing so -- or just wanting a virtual place to chat about Linux/BSD/etc. in Diablo Valley. -- Cheers, Founding member of the Hyphenation Society, a grassroots-based, Rick Moen not-for-profit, locally-owned-and-operated, cooperatively-managed, rick@linuxmafia.com modern-American-English-usage-improvement association.
