[H-GEN] Sysadmin Help (Was Re: Humbug AGM 2018 Minutes)

[Tim]

Hi All, I'm currently just a lurker, previously a very active member of
PLUG.

I'd love to get involved in the Sysadmin discussions, and how I can assist
there. The Sasig and Admin lists both look more "system" related rather
than discussion. Is there a better place to get involved in the discussions?

Regards

Tim
