Anyways, I'd be more than happy to host the site on my box
(ashi.footprints.net), which is currently co-located at Internet Direct.
I've got plenty of space and IPs available, so it shouldn't be a problem.
I'd also be willing to create accounts for anyone maintaining the site for
us.
And speaking of the web site, why not register linux.bc.ca? Then we could
have vancouver.linux.bc.ca for our site, and point victoria.linux.bc.ca,
etc, etc to their respective web sites as well.
Just some thoughts,
Jared Proudfoot

Hi, all.
As most of you know, Andrew Daviel has maintained a Vancouver Linux Mailing List archive and such at
http://vancouver-webpages.com/vlinux/
for the past few years. As an interim measure, I recently asked him to update the information concerning the Vancouver Linux Users Group, including the agenda for our next meeting.
Meanwhile, many of you have expressed interest in contributing to a more comprehensive web presence for the group. This will be a fair amount of work given that we'll have to
* find a suitable host (assuming Andrew doesn't want to host the expanded site.)
* register a suitable host and domain name, e.g., www.vanlug.org
* decide what information to include on the site
* decide upon a suitable tree structure/hierarchy for the site
* design a suitable home page
* recruit people to author subsidiary pages
* maintain it!
So this is a big, long-term project. If you would like to contribute, please contact Steering Committee member Simon deWeerdt (deweerdt@physics.ubc.ca).
