The people who run these Lugs are people who share a passion for Linux
and give up their free time to help people who are using Linux, help
spread the word, and generally socialise with like minded people.
There will be people with skills in different areas of Linux and other
OSes.  There are many distributions of Linux, but generally they all
follow the general theme.

Are you able to come to the Linux World Expo in London on the 25/26th?
 It is held at Olympia, and will be a very good opportunity to meet
like minded people, and hear some of the discussions.  The website is:
 http://www.linuxworldexpo.co.uk.  It's free to get is as long as you
register before hand.
