may be some one knows there I can find / download G.A.L ISO image?

Polling Option now available

Submitted by Taha on 9/15/2009 4:21pm

There was a recent request to have the ability to create polls to post questions to the NOVALUG audience, so we have gone ahead and enabled that option for all registered users.

You will be able to create/edit/delete your own polls and set time limits to the polls.

If anyone has any question or problems about using the polls feature or any other parts of the NOVALUG website please post your questions on the forums or the mailing list.

I recommend the Forums on the site as it is an excellent place to have "OT" discussions. (just my humble opinion)
