GLLUG (Greater London LUG) has a wide catchment area and has people
coming from all over the place!

As a more technical and less drinking orientated (although that goes on
afterwards) we get a really diverse bunch.

I've read on some lists that some women feel uncomfortable in attending
an entirely social meeting (especially if you don't know anybody) but
are happy with something more structured.

Anyway - we seem to have more women active than there are in Ubuntu-UK
(!) so we must be doing something right..
