6. Practical suggestions

Finally, I want to make some very practical, even mundane, suggestions for anyone wanting to found, maintain, or grow a LUG.

6.1 LUG support organisations

There are several organisations offering assistance to LUGs.

GLUE:

Groups of Linux Users Everywhere is a user group coordination and support program started by SSC, the same people who publish Linux Journal. The GLUE program is an inexpensive way for a LUG to provide some benefits to its membership.

Cleveland Linux User's Group:

Own the Internet domain lug.net. They will provide your LUG an Internet domain name at lug.net: your-LUG-name-or-city.lug.net. More information may be found by e-mailing Jeff Garvas.

Red Hat, Inc.'s User Group Program:

Assists LUGs to develop and grow. More information may be found at Red Hat Web site.
