User Group Aims:<br>
<br>
* To exchange Linux and Open Source Software knowledge and<br>
experience.<br>
* To encourage the use of Linux and Open Source Software<br>
<br>
Mailing list and website rules:<br>
<br>
* We abide by the rules of the provider of the mailing lists and<br>
venues. Please respect this. On our main mailing list, hosted<br>
by Naos, this means no advertising on the list or website. At<br>
all. However, notifying others of GNU/Linux media available for<br>
swap when a new distribution is released is acceptable.<br>
<br>
* If you are looking to get rid of old computer equipment you may<br>
want to join the recompute-wellington mailing list:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://groups.google.com/group/recompute-wellington" target="_blank">http://groups.google.com/group/recompute-wellington</a><br>

<br>
Mailing list Guidelines:<br>
<br>
* The purpose behind these guidelines is to clarify what you need<br>
to do to help WellyLUG create an effective and enjoyable<br>
atmosphere that will foster a sense of community.<br>
* They are by their nature optional but are designed to help<br>
facilitate smoother interpersonal relations. These are not<br>
rules. They are simply some common sense practical tips to help<br>
keep our LUG humming. Humming is good<br>
* Try to keep all commentary civil, and be courteous. Try to<br>
refrain from using coarse or insulting language. Constructive<br>
criticism in the spirit of genuine dialogue is welcome, but<br>
insults directed towards other members will not be well<br>
received.<br>
* Some people are interested in the political aspects of free and<br>
open source software. Others are more interested from a hobbyist<br>
perspective. The LUG embraces both.<br>
* If you are in serious conflict with someone by e-mail, take a<br>
deep breath and wait an hour or sleep on it before replying!<br>
And if it still winds you up, then take it off list.<br>
<br>
Keep in mind the following:<br>
<br>
* It's a much better feeling to resolve a conflict in a way that<br>
improves the relationship you have with your fellow members,<br>
which benefits everyone including yourself.<br>
* Look beyond short term frustrations to the longer term future of<br>
the group.<br>
* Sometimes people might have a bad day. Forgive them, no one is<br>
immune to a visit from Mr Grumpy.<br>
* Clarify individual perceptions involved in the conflict. You<br>
can't solve a problem if you don't know what it is about.<br>
* Sort the parts of the conflict -- ask what it is about. Avoid<br>
ghost conflicts -- get to the heart of the matter and avoid side<br>
issues. (Ghost conflicts where the heart of the problems are not<br>
being dealt with directly, and instead minor or side matters are<br>
given all the attention. Can happen when people are upset or<br>
irritable with each other, or when the real conflict is deemed<br>
too sensitive).<br>
* Clarify what, if any, values are involved.<br>
* If you pause to think about it, you may recognise that the<br>
parties involved need each other to be most effective in forming<br>
a healthy LUG community.<br>
* Additionally, clarify your perceptions of the other party. Avoid<br>
stereotyping. Try to listen carefully.<br>
* Recognise the other's needs and values. Try to empathise -- ask<br>
why they feel the way they do. Clear up misconceptions you may<br>
have of them.<br>
