“I went to my first LUG (Linux Users Group) meeting last night.
It was a wonderful experience and I would recommend it to all! I
had looked previously, over a year ago, for a Linux Users Group in
my area. Alas, the closest one was miles away in another town.
Recently I clicked on the LUGS hyperlink, right here on Linux.com,
and found that there was now a local group meeting not too far
away. I immediately joined.”

“I am not much of joiner, so this was a big step for me. I have
the introverted writer mentality that allows me to be a hermit. But
a Linux/GNU group was just too much to resist.”
