The Wyvern Era
A group was first started by a handful of local residents in approximately 1989, including Tom Manos, Bill Roberts. Shortly after, it evolved into "TWUUG" and included such people as Mark Davis and Lyman Byrd.
The early meetings were sponsored by the then-new Wyvern Technologies in Norfolk. We obtained our internet connection through an agreement with ODU in which we provided them a high-speed modem (expensive in those days) and they gave us a UUCP feed.
The Infinet Era
A few years passed and Wyvern eventually became "Infinet", and the meetings were held at their new building and our internet connectivity was upgraded to a real feed.
The Lockheed Era
Meetings also rotated to Lockheed Martin in Chesapeake.
The Lake Taylor Era
In 1993, the meetings started to be hosted at Lake Taylor Hospital in Norfolk. We usually meet in the North Classroom, but if there is a special event, we have been known to overflow into the Cafeteria (which is much larger).
