Ryedale Linux User Group Previous Meetings

For June we changed plans at the last minute and headed to York to join the YLUG meeting.  This was mainly because many people from RyeLUG seemed to be very busy and holding our own meeting was likely to prove to be very few in numbers.  So Neil and I joined Liam, Harry, Matthew, Craig and Jonathan for a pleasent evening in The Yorkshire Terrier in Stonegate, York.

The York LUG has the keen OSM mapper Matthew, who has been trying hard to enthuse the LUG to greater efforts with OSM mapping.  So many of those attending have either made the first steps towards mapping or are planning to do so.  As both Neil and I are keen mappers too, it shouldn't be surprising to discover that quite a lot of time was devoted to the OSM.  With the growing numbers of mappers in both York and Ryedale it is hoped we can put together some sort of OSM mapping event in the near future.

Another subject I'm always keen to promote is GnuPG.  Again, most attending use or have considered using it at some point so this also received some discussion.  As most of those from York have yet to sign or have their keys signed I'd like to think that a joint key signing party might be on the cards for RyeLUG and York.

I managed to talk to Liam about the Manchester meeting where Richard Stallman gave a presentation on the FSF.  I would very much have liked to attend this, but events conspired to prevent this happening.  So to hear about the meet from Liam was most welcome.  Thanks Liam!

Other subjects included the difficulties of choosing secure passwords and electric bicycles.  All in all a good evening!  Only slighty marred by the fact I was driving and therefore unable to really sample the fine real ales available.
