Welcome All!

This is the first post on The LANtern Online, the resurrected newsletter of the Greater Boston Network Users Group (also known as BNUG). BNUG was founded in December 1986, originally as a spinoff of the late, lamented Boston Computer Society. We're affiliated with NUI (NetWare Users International), and a 501c(3) nonprofit educational group. We hold our general meetings on the second Tuesday of each month at Mount Ida College in Newton, MA, and we hold executive board meetings at Mount Ida (or occasionally other places) on the fourth Tuesday. Check our website for any updates or changes.

What's the purpose of this blog? Well, we generate a lot of technical content here. And we've got a lot of tips and advice to share with folks. Rather than going back to publishing a dead-tree edition of our newsletter, we're going to start running it as a blog instead - all the members of our executive board will have publishing access to it and I, Josh Turiel (former BNUG president and long-time board member) will do most of the editing to start things out. We'll get most of the board members to contribute little bio pieces soon so you get an idea of who we are, and we'll start posting tech articles as soon as we get them ready. Enjoy!
