Coming Soon.

Notes:

• Common feelings:

  • "LUGs are meatspace" - LoCo teams tend to be more virtual (national/statewide vs. "local")

  • "LUGs are dying" - Linux is widely demystified, Internet/forums have taken the need for meatspace stuff
    • A contentious statement with no evidence to back it up.
    • In the UK there are over 100 LUGs, some generate hundreds of mails a month, some are less active of course
    • LUGs do good things in the community.
      • Info Points
      • Software Freedom Day mobilisation of troops to raise awareness
    • LUGs provide an on-tap resource of local knowledgable technical people
    • LUGs are not tied to one distro, and can therefore be distro/technology agnostic.

• Some LoCos can complement this

• ToDo: [wiki:JoeyStanford Joey] to update with his LoCo's findings.
