What's a LUG?

A Linux User Group is generally a group of Linux Users who get together to talk about all sort of things Linux and Open Source together. There are LUGs up and down the country (See lug.org.uk for more details).

What does a LUG do?

Linux User Groups meet to talk and learn about Linux. Some groups meet informally in pubs and restaurants, others meet in more formal locations and have talks at every meeting. We hope this will be somewhere in between

However, we'd like this to be more than a Linux User Group, encouraging anyone vaguely local and vaguely technical to come along and join us for food and beer. Meetings will be about whatever people want to know about.

Why another LUG?

Redditch and Bromsgrove LUG has been set up to address the lack of a LUG in this area. Many of us travel as far as Wolverhampton for a sociable Linux User Group meeting, but no more!

Meetings

The first meeting was in Bromsgrove (8th March 2007?), and quite successful (10 people turned up!). We will probably hold meetings on a monthly basis, and are open to suggestions over location, venue and content. The first meeting involved meeting up and talking over beer / food etc.

Members

When they start making pages about themselves, you'll be able to read more about people in the Members Area
