The Amersfoort meet was a totally off-the-cuff thing arranged privately by me. There was no request from empeg to arrange it at all.

I arranged everything with a local hotel (reserve room in case of room, checked we could use the carpark, arranged for coffee to be available). They were quite happy about it, as it meant a bit of extra business. I booked Rob and Roger into the hotel as well; finally, I had some mugs made up, bought a few small prizes for a couple of simple competitions, and did a few little bits like make up laminated signs, rig them and put up a handmade meeting flag. All the costs were initially mine; Rob very generously offered to carry the price of the coffee for the meet, which was appreciated by all who attended. He also thoughtfully helped with a mail shot and some tee-shirts for prizes - now collector's items!

In the end though - this was not organised by empeg, was not commercially sponsored by empeg, and was wholly arranged by enthusiasts for other enthusiasts. The costs were all my own. Don't count on subsidy or expect someone else to arrange it; you just need to get something started. This year's Amersfoort bash was sufficiently fun and well-attended to make me think it would be worth doing it again next year on a greater scale, maybe even at a different location. Who knows...

I saw you were subscribed to the list, but then all of a sudden the address you sub'ed with started bouncing and you got unsub'ed manually (by me).

I haven't seen any BAEUG mailinglist traffic since subscribing and getting around those "open relay" issues. Has there been no traffic, or did I get dropped just like Loren?

I wouldn't say there has been "no" traffic, but it has been VERY light (I'd say total <12 messages). You're still on there, and your mail server is accepting the message:

Oct 11 08:20:56 minbar sendmail[18642]: e9BFKAg18640: [email protected], delay=

so are you sure you're just not seeing it because of low volume?

Ah, good. I guess that since the volume has been low recently, I was afraid I'd dropped off. Good to know all is still well.

I'd be interested in attending BAEUG meet, and the location suggestion of the fairgrounds across from Marine World is a great suggestion. That's just off of I-80, right? That's a very easy location for almost all of northern California to reach.

It does sound good, but I think it requires someone closer to Vallejo to organize it (e.g., someone for whom the local area is well known and convenient, as opposed to someone like me who lives in San Jose )

But this discussion should REALLY be taking place on the BAEUG mailing list with all the folks instead of just the three of us. Someone post that suggestion there. :)

Great, you're going to call my bluff on the M coupe, aren't you. ;)

I started a message about this in the BAEUG Mailing list .... so those of you interested please join in, and those who are in the Bay Area not on the list and are interested, my suggestion would be to join

If I remember right, you had to send an email to [email protected] with a message in the body saying "subscribe baeug [your email address]"

well hell im curious what exactly is the listserv email addie to the list? i joined one mailing list not sure if it was hte bay area one or not. tony jsut answered some guys questions on some fabricated pics on teh time dispaly of a mark1.. that the list? if not can someone post me up the palce wehre i can submit a email to'?

Im as confused as a baby in a topless bar...

The other list to which you refer is the EGroups mailing list. That's global, and it's not the BAEUG mailing list. And it's pretty dead recently since everyone seems to like this BBS more than that mailing list.

To subscribe to the BAEUG list, I think you have to send a mail to "[email protected]" with SUBSCRIBE BAEUG in the body of the message. But I'm not sure. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

yes, that is correct.
