I thought interesting that no one knows why LUAU got rolled into HOSEF.
Their goals are so different.
Matt,
I'm relatively new around here so I'm wondering what you mean by this?

Julian,
Here is a summary of what people were talking about.
Before HOSEF was created, before Luau, there was MPLUG. Mid-Pacific Linux
Users Group. MPLUG was started by Warren Togumi before he went on to bigger
and better things. It was a bunch of Linux enthusiasts that would get
together once a month can talk shop, learn from each other, and build cool
stuff.
It seems like everything the Linux community does is run by HOSEF. People
want to have an autonomous LUAU back. HOSEF is geared toward bringing Linux
to the OSS neophytes, LUAU is for newbies-gurus & everywhere in between,
business owners, solution providers etc. Of course there is some cross
over.
There was also talk of having a annual conference as a fundraser to
highlight OSS in the community - j/k
You should come next build, you can ask the 'old-timers' - people over 30
about the good old days.

Matt,
I believe LUAU was created way back before I started to go there to the
meetings in the 1990's when it was held at the UH Innovation Center.
Gary Sublett got me interested, but he has since moved back to Kentucky.
I see him answer on line occasionally so he may be able to give more of
a time line history.
There has always be an up and down pull in interest for LUAU and the
name was maintained for a mailing list identity.
I am glad to see you guys are doing some installs and learning sessions
again. Excellent work!
