The mail Simon sent to the ManLUG list had a To field of just:

To:           MAN-LUG@...

[Fwd: Re: [MAN-LUG] ShefLUG - February 2011 Meeting]

Do people fancy a release party for Debian Squeeze in Manchester? If not
then people could go to Sheffield, see below. Note that there is a
particular free software reason for celebration of this release as:

Debian 6.0 "Squeeze" to be released with completely free Linux kernel

Hi

http://www.debian.org/News/project/2011/02/

Debian Squeeze released at the weekend.  The thought occurs to me that
people in Manchester might not be having a release party this weekend.
These are taking place all over the world.  If you do want to come
over and help us to celebrate the release of Squeeze please do join
in.  Meeting details here...

The Mail-Followup-To header is set by my MUA, Mutt, by default, for
lists I am subscribed to.  I think it serves a different, but
complementary purpose to List-Post, but I don’t think the debate needs
re‐hashing.  Just a google for Mail-Followup-To will find D. J.
Bernstein’s page on it, and a further search for the same on the IETF
lists will find the discussion about the draft.

This may well have been re‐written, boo.

> There isn't List-Post header in Simon's ManLUG email.

ListServ, a proprietary mailing list software that is now mandated by
Manchester Universit, does not and does not intend to support various
List-* headers.  I don’t particularly like proprietary software vendors,
but when they can’t even be arsed to implement open standards my
feelings involve words I won’t repeat on this list.

Administrative and Social Meeting - Monday, 7th February 2011


The February 2011 administrative meeting will be on the FIRST Monday of
the month (not the usual second Monday due to closeness to 3rd Tuesday)
at the usual time and place:

* Date: Monday, 7th February 2011
* Time: 19:00 for 19:30
* Location: The Waterhouse
            67-71 Princess Street
            M2 4EG
            http://www.jdwetherspoon.co.uk/home/pubs/the-waterhouse

The meeting is open to everyone and normally lasts about an hour. At the
meeting we review what we've done, assess where we are and plan what to
do. This is your opportunity to get involved. We welcome new people
wanting to help the group achieve its goals.

We stay around for a social meet up afterwards, so it's a good
opportunity to meet up with people and have a chat.

Minutes from last meeting which was held on 12th April 2010 are at
http://libreplanet.org/wiki/Manchester/2010-04-12/Minutes

The Agenda for this meeting will be at
http://libreplanet.org/wiki/Manchester/2011-02-07
There currently aren't any items listed there but, trust me, we have
lots to discuss. I will get the agenda filled out this weekend but this
is a heads up for the meeting.

If you have something you'd like included in the Agenda of the meeting

Fri 18 Feb: SushiBeer geek social

On Friday 18th February a number of us from various geek groups will be 
going for a 'SushiBeer' social at New Samsi on Whitworth Street. We'll 
be meeting outside the restaurant just before 8pm and going straight in 
for a meal. The cost of the meal/drinks will probably be in the region 
of £25-30 per head.

http://www.samsi.co.uk/samsi-manchester.htm

The social is open to everyone, but you must email me if you are 
planning to attend (and if you're bringing anyone else) by Wednesday 
16th February so that I can book a table for the correct number.

Hope to see you there!

Paul
