[SLUG] New Kernel Cousin: SLUG Pearls!

[Jeff Waugh <jdub@nospam.aphid.net>]

Afternoon all,

Bit of an announcement... :)


Thanks to everyone who have said great things about this wacky thing we call
SLUG Pearls. I didn't think that Pearls was going to be that much of a hit,
but it seems a lot of you have really enjoyed it.

When it was first suggested on the list - I must thank Adam Kennedy for
suggesting out loud what I thought was a crazy idea - I decided against
beating around the bush and promptly emailed Zack Brown. We can probably
attribute the blame for all of this to him anyway, because the idea behind
Pearls was Kernel Traffic, his indispensible resource for anyone who can't
handle the Linux kernel mailing list.

Zack has been incredibly helpful in getting Pearls going, providing the
scripts the KC team use, and lots of kind comments along the way...

... and then he had the rather strange idea of hosting SLUG Pearls along
with the Kernel Cousins.

So we said yes, of course! ;)


Zack:

"This is great! I never expected a LUG would want to write a Cousin, and
when I heard you folks were doing one over in Sydney, I thought, 'well,
that'll be interesting.' Then I read issue number one, and knew right away
that SLUG Pearls was something very special and unexpected and new. I'm
really happy that Jeff and the rest of the committee decided to have "SLUG
Pearls" become "KC SLUG Pearls". Welcome!"


So, by the end of the week, you should see KC SLUG Pearls up on Linuxcare's
website, with our little SLUGger Tux and all. Looks like we've just turned
the SLUG mailing list's volume to eleven!


Thanks SLUGgers,

- Jeff
