We are living in constantly changing labour markets and<br>
in this day and age there are many ways to communicate<br>
and support each other, when necessary, through different media.<br>
<br>
An irc channel<br>
<br>
[# wellylug at irc.sitharus.com<br>
or<br>
##wellylug on irc.freenode.net]<br>
<br>
is cost efficient for many and independent of the tyrannies of time
or distance,<br>
<br>
while others might wish to meet socially over some brewed or
fermented refreshment.<br>
<br>
I was at a Wellylug meeting at 'silverstripe' when a polite
gentleman came in and <br>
sat down introducing himself as Linus Torvalds. I think he was
visiting them and<br>
had heard of the WellyLug meeting.<br>
<br>
I probably made a dick of myself refusing to believe it was him, but
such<br>
accidental encounters which make social life interesting are seldom
found online.<br>
<br>
In short, I'd argue for flexibility ..<br>
<br>
Cheers.<br>
