However, the LUG 2006 yearbook project is far more simple. No judging. Limit two submissions. Easy standards (see below). Dec 31 deadline for submissions, OFFLINE to jshul@comcast.net If I have thirty LUGgers submit by then (from a total of more than 1000, that means 3% or less of the total) I'll put the book together and make it available for purchase at cost. So far SIX have responded by sending images. Twenty-four to go before we hit paydirt. Besides, I prefer to think of the LUG as the dysfunctional family of man.

These have been judged and therefore will also ensure some level of quality. There are however 500 of them. Cheers, Michiel Fokkema
