[ILUG] content required for YOUR WEBSITE

[Andrew McCarthy]

Hi folks,

I'll be honest and say I've only been skimming this thread as I barely
have time to read my e-mail, let alone write any. Hopefully I'm not
repeating anything, but the following struck me:

These are all generic Linux topics - anybody anywhere in the world can
do them, and in most cases I'm guessing many have already. Since this is
*I*LUG, where's the Irish angle (mentioned in the constitution) on all
this? How could the site target the Irish Computing industry/users
specifically? I think things like the vendors page is a good example, or
the mailing lists with Ireland-based contributors. What other local info
could be good/useful? That's the sort of thing that'd be unique to the
site and would keep people coming back.
