Why contact LUGs?

1. to inform them that we exist as a resource (so they can invite us to come talk, etc)
2. to find out what they would like us to be able to provide for them

3. to get our name out there so their members know they can join/help our LoCo

4. to inform them that we may refer local Ubuntu users to their meetings & install fests

5. to let them know we do not wish to compete with them, but assist them in their efforts

   1. Local California Linux user groups generally meet in person on a regular basis for end-user education & support

   2. Our LoCo performs very diverse activities specifically for Ubuntu Linux throughout the state (often meeting virutally) and is made up of volunteer Ubuntu representative/advocates. LoCos advocate, promote, translate, develop and otherwise improve Ubuntu, acting as a backbone of the Ubuntu community. For more information see [LoCoFAQ] and LoCoWorkingWithOtherGroups

How to contact a LUG?

Contactors should not spam, but make personalized contact with a user group representative. Ideally a contactor will already have attended one of the user group's meetings.
