1. If you had already signed up but received a new notification email, don't worry. This has to do with the migration to a new host and the consequential transfer of the SQL dump which may (or may not) have been updated 100%. At any rate, try logging in and if you can't, just set up a new account which I will work on as soon as I receive the notification email.
2. The migration to the new host is successful other than aforementioned mix-up. I also updated Drupal to 5.12 whose release happened to coincide.

This site was unavailable a few days ago due to a botched up update attempt. My Oops. As of today, everything's dandy again. PLUG on.

In other news, there will be another informal mini - meet tomorrow at Bo's Coffee, the Basement of Robinson's Galleria, Ortigas Center, Pasig, Thursday, July 31, 2008.

People who had been unable to join us last Saturday at Starbuck's Araneta Center Cubao are encouraged to come today, but if unable, don't worry, I'll make sure to update everyone via this site as well.

As of yesterday, the domains linux.org.ph and plug.linux.org.ph resolve to this site. Development is continuing and I have posted a laundry list on the Phil. Drupal site for someone to take up.

I am preparing the site to handle the OOXML issue, currently actively discussed on PLUG's mailing list. I have sent out invites to everyone who commented re the issue, as they are best qualified, and encourage others to do the same.

The PLUG website is aggregating PLUG related content from its members. This will achieve the ff.:

1. Provides Always fresh, relevant content.
2. Negates the need for resident editor to have to make content himself.
3. Distribution of PLUG related info amongst its members and the public.
4. Will help PLUG website editor (well, just me at the moment) figure out who are the writers and content producers amongst us which will help when we need to create content later on.

What is 'relevant content'? Things like these:

How Tos
Opinion
Commentary
News
