Spice up your LUG!

,----[ Quote ]
| Finally, there's no reason why your LUG can't embrace the social networking 
| revolution, and create a community on one of the many social networking 
| sites. This has the advantage of being more media rich than traditional 
| communication channels, and is usually more pervasive and immediate, with 
| people keeping in touch on their mobile phones, for instance. This is worth 
| looking at if the average age of your membership is on the lower side, as 
| older folks seem to have an in-built cynicism towards the benefits of social 
| networking. But whichever strategies you do take, the most important part 
| about being online is that the website is kept up to date. Without that, it's 
| worthless.

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.
