[TriLUG] Re: [Steering] Request for RTCW ET Server

[John F Davis]

Hello

Free is first and formost in the purpose touted on the website.  Lets not
quibble.

... Park. TriLUG has been incorporated as a 501(c)3 educational non-profit
for the purpose of promoting and supporting the use of Linux and related
Free and Open Source programs in the Triangle area. We have monthly
meetings, quarterly Installfests, and a very active ...


I think this is a free program for linux in the triangle area.

Well since you asked...

I don't feel the same.  TriLUG's charter is to promote open source
software.  While RTCW might run on an Open Source OS, I don't know that
it is doing anything for our mission to hand over bandwidth to this.

bzflag is another matter.  People who think there are no good open
source games have a hard time standing by that statement after a couple
hours of bzflag.

There are a lot of college students here.  I'll bet one of them would
be willing to host a server in their dorm if you asked.
