Meet LoLiTa - the Linux user's group of French Polynesia
,----[ Quote ]
| Finally, one little Linux-related anecdote from French Polynesia. It seems
| that your DistroWatch maintainer was not the only Linux-using visitor
| enchanted by these paradise islands. Gwenolé Beauchesne, a Mandriva developer
| currently responsible for Core Labs unit, (re-)visited the territory in 2006.
| The result? Those of you who used the distribution in that year might
| remember that version 2007 had come with a brand new Mandriva theme
| called "Ia Orana" (or "hello" in Tahitian) and it included a set of superb
| photos that formed a part of one of the screensavers included in the
| distribution. A great way to pause and reflect on a pleasant vacation once
| life returns to normal!

Lovable LUGgable: support your Linux user group
,----[ Quote ]
| It’s true: LUGs aren’t the same. Linux isn’t brand spanking new anymore.
| There’s no need for meetings which merely introduce the technology over and
| over. This doesn’t mean LUGs aren’t relevant, but merely they have evolved.
