<div dir="ltr">UIC (University of Illinois at Chicago) has a decent LUG.  I had class across the hall from their room and there were always people in there hanging out and I saw fliers on the door for meetups and such.  Maybe the Ubuntu group is dead, but I know that there are active groups out there. <div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Oct 20, 2008 at 10:44 AM, John Becker <<a href="mailto:jleebecker@hotmail.com">jleebecker@hotmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hello to Isaiah Irizarry and Sebastian Brukalo! I'm sorry your posts have not been acknowledged. It must be obvious that the Chi-Ubuntu group is quite inactive. Several attempts have been made to create a large self-sustaining Linux group in the Chicagoland area with mixed results. IMHO the most successful of these is the College of DuPage Linux Users Group (CODLUG) consisting largely of students of COD who meet monthly. A large fraction of their group use Kubuntu. I lurk here and on the CODLUG list and have attended a few LUG meetings in the area. But on the whole, it seems there are too few people using the same distro/window manager with the same interests (excluding gaming) that want to socialize. I have several older boxes using Linux. My Ubuntu box is connected to my 26" HDTV @ 1366x768. It began as Breezey Badger and every 6 months I upgrade. I enjoy the challange of updating/upgrading rather than doing a reinstall. Good Luck Lee <div class="WgoR0d"> _________________________________________________________________ Stay organized with simple drag and drop from Windows Live Hotmail. <a href="http://windowslive.com/Explore/hotmail?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_hotmail_102008" target="_blank">http://windowslive.com/Explore/hotmail?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_hotmail_102008</a> -- Ubuntu-us-chicago mailing list <a href="mailto:Ubuntu-us-chicago@lists.ubuntu.com">Ubuntu-us-chicago@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-chicago" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-chicago</a> </div></blockquote></div> -- John M.
