- Dominic, June 2007 - Interested in security aspect of the LAMP platform (between PHP and Apache in particular - e.g. the use of suexec, suPHP) and back end configuration. Also 'LAPP' (PostgreSQL instead of MySQL) or Lighttpd instead of Apache.
- Philip, June 2007 - interested in learning more about administering LAMP
- OsdeInfo, June 2007 - LAMP is FSSE
- JohnW, June 2007 - interested, something I need to get more involved in for work reasons as well as play. Trying out Gallery and hoping to install some kind of mailserver, possibly Hula. Please stay in touch if you're planning get-togethers.
- SteveWalker, June 2007 My hobby server runs LAMP software using pretty basic configuration. I am keen to learn more, especially how to avoid the more obvious security pitfalls. I will be in Surrey for most of April.
