LuddKOM

Ludds conference system LuddKOM is based on LysKOM, which is very similar to the old command based BBSs, like TCL, Nikom or NTPro. These BBSs were very popular electronic notice boards before Internet as we know it came into play. Here you can join the meetings you find interesting and debate miscellaneous topics. For example, you can ask for recipes in the meeting "Mat och livsmedel" (As you will notice, most of the meetings are held in swedish, and the same goes for most clients). If someone has the recipe you seek, you will certainly get an answer sooner or later.

Unlike chats (IRC) or instant messaging systems like ICQ, MSN and the likes all posts and comments are saved on the server in a big database, meaning you can ask a question and come back to check the answer a week later. Quite similar to modern web forum software really, except it uses a (usually) commandline client.

This is also where we do much of our internal communication.

Meetings we wholeheartedly recommend:

  • BSD - när smaken får avgöra
  • Datorer allmänt
  • DVD erfarenhets- och diskussionsmöte
  • LCNet - Luleå Campus Network
  • Linux allmänt
  • Ludd allmänt
  • Philm och video

In order to use LuddKOM you don't have to be a member of Ludd, but it might make things easier, since the suitable clients are already installed on our systems. You can of course install them on any computer you like and access our KOM server from there. Have a look at the relevant support pages for running KOM at Ludd, or KOM at home.

LuddKOM is administered by the LuddKOM administrator. Questions regarding the LuddKOM server should preferably be sent there.
