[Sheflug] Scundog LUG

[Richard Ibbotson <richard [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

This just came into enquiries. Thought someone might want to read
it.......



We have recently started a new Linux User Group, based in the Scunthorpe/Doncaster
area.

Scunthorpe & Doncaster Group of Linux Users

This group started out last year and finally set their web site up in March 2003. Thanks
to the mutual support of other LUG's the group is slowly expanding and sharing
information for a growing list of members.

The scundog ideal is to promote the use of Linux for new users who need to find
answers to their Linux problems. By the same token people can also trumpet things
they find great/easy to use. So far the group has attracted a wide age group from
backgrounds including industry, local government, education, job seekers and students.

The first meeting is scheduled to take place as soon as a venue is finalised in the North
Lincs Area (easy to get to by public transport is a consideration). The group has been
working on a demo of the LTSP (Linux terminal server project) and dual booting
Windows XP laptops with Redhat and Mandrake distros. Recent attention has been
paid to migrating office users over to OpenOffice/Star Office v6.
