Hello Wendell, First of welcome to the list. Finally somebody from the the govt sector is able to notice KLUG.
Regarding KLUG's membership and history, you may contact Matt Arnilo Baluyos. He is one of the originals of the list and he is currently one of the maintainers (if not the head maintainer) of the mailing list. I'm a member of the IOSN-UNDP also. However I'm not that active. I have previously exchanged emails with Dr. Marcelo. I have also exchanged emails with Ms Yolynne Medina (also a list member), currently in Zamboanga, who is actively assisting on various IOSN/FOSS activities. During previous KLUG meetings, I could still remember discussions on how KLUG can help out in introducing Linux and FOSS to the local government sector. But this was waylaid due to some other pressing matters. In my observation, the activities (tech sessions, meetings, etc) for KLUG were on hiatus at the moment ready to spring back to active at a moments notice. KLUG is a diverse group. Its membership includes from the academe, private sector, LGUs (private capacity), and perhaps also some from the govt (unofficial).
