The beauty of Linux UGs is that you can gear them towards different crowds. The beginning desktop user and the 'power' users (for lack of a better term). I for one would love to go to a meeting covering Systemd and creating RPMs for instance. |
It's all caused by the presence of the forums.

The public library system in my neck of the woods uses Linux (of the Mint variety now) almost exclusively, excepting a few Windows 7 boxes, but a library that employs Linux does not a LUG make.
I've sought out other users, but nothing has come together. Perhaps the expanding nature of Linux distributions and the proliferation of readily available Linux aids online is the reason for the seeming decline of LUG. Regardless, I'm still interested in forming one, if I can't find one. |
Ctlug?

In the last city I was living in I stopped going to the LUG because over 10 years ago, It was mainly burnout mainframe guys who were only interested in talking about hardware. The folks running it were only interested in furthering their careers and it was hard to get questions answered on the mailing listso I gave up.
In the city I'm living in now, I went a few years ago and there was a great presentation, however the turnout was so disappointing, that I thought why bother, I'll just stick with online forums. |

Some of the members thought about about calling for electing new leaders, however one of the top members had ties to a "non-profit" which acquired space that allow us a Linux computer lab with a projector and white board. The thinking was if we elected a new members, then we would lose that space, so the status quo was maintained. |
