UKNM: ADMIN: Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

[Sam Michel]

Hello Everyone,


Just a short festive note to wish everyone a very happy holidays. Hopefully

all of you will get the chance to spend some quality time away from a

computer screen. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has helped

support the UKNM list and Chinwag through the last year. It feels like there

are a lot of friends out there, many of whom are known only by email

address, but friends nontheless.


We have big plans for the coming year, including new additions to the

website, better resources, a bunch of new discussion lists and newsletters,

the launch of the directory and of course our next party, currently

pencilled for this Spring. As always, we'll do things Chinwag-style, fun,

irreverent and ever-so-slightly tongue-in-cheek! Anna joining in September

has made a big difference, and whilst the website is still a little tricky

to get round (we're working on it), there's a lot more there now, and more

on the way.


The latter part of 2000 has been a pretty bumpy ride for lots of people

working in new media land, and next year looks like it's also going to hard

work. Still, I'm sure we've all learnt a lot and after a brief respite, lots

of turkey/goose/duck/chicken/nut roast and plenty of booze we'll all be

ready to get stuck in again.


I hope you agree with me that it's re-assuring to have a community of people

through UKNM, and the Chinwag events that, whilst providing enough cynicism

and razor-sharp wit to bring any big-heads down to size, also provides one

of the strongest communities I've come across online. It's a privilege to be

part of it, I hope you feel the same.


I'm getty gushy, aren't I? It must have been the considerable quantities of

whisky. I'm off to fill my face with Christmas nosh, I hope you are too. I

look forward to speaking/emailing/meeting lots more of you in the coming

year.
