Active LUGs require reviewing to check their current status

[gwestwood]

It's been a while since we last reviewed what LUGs are still active, and we should review that, or perhaps add a mechanism to allow Lugmasters to confirm on an annual basis that their LUG is still active (or notify of the closing of a LUG).

[gwestwood]

Emailed the Lugmasters list today to ask them to check and advise of any inaccuracies in their LUG listings by logging an issue or pull request here.

Hope you are well. Last I heard West Yorkshire Linux User Group was no more. However. Sheffield Linux User's Group is very much alive - www.sheflug.org.uk/indexpage. We have a mailing list and a Twitter or X account - https://twitter.com/ShefLUG. See our meetings page for more information about meetings. Hope this helps.

Thanks Richard. I have opened two issue tickets to cover these and will be processing the Lugmaster responses in a few days to give everyone time to respond.

@richardibbotson - As a side-note, I would suggest that you update the URLs (where supported) to https - I note that at least one link I followed from sheflug's site to the mailing list was http-only, and the URLs listed on https://sheflug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/sheflug_sheflug.org.uk are also http-only.

Reviewed Jan 2024. Updated multiple LUGs. Some still require reviewing.
