Colm,

many thanks for all the input into the thread.=C2=A0 I absolutely agree wit=
h=20
your assessment of 3a&b :-)

I suppose my concern is that for folk who are new to the Linux=20
ecosystem, particularly in Ireland, the Linux.ie allowed a 'here we are'=20
type of presence, and when Meetings were a 'thing' it was useful to=20
publicise those. The soocial envionent is=C2=A0 different now.... meeting u=
p=20
to have 'Install Fests' may no longer be relevant, in the same way=20
having a meeting to exchange distributions on CD (yes CD not DVD..) is a=20
nonsense. Those of us who were involved at the start are all in a=20
different place in life - but there may be a value in having a landing=20
point for those following on so that they can find this mailing list,=20
for example.

Just a thought for what its worth.
