Hello, Sorry, this is a little off-topic for the list, but I thought that there might be people here experienced in starting up Linux Users Groups. There is an existing ILUG-Bhubaneswar, where we are based, but it exists mostly as a Yahoo group, and even here participation is desultory. We would like to generate some enthusiasm among the members, so that we can form a core group of people interested in OSS. The hope is that an active group like this would be instrumental in promoting OSS, and eventually be of help in our localization efforts. So, I would like to hear from anyone who has been in at the start of a thriving ILUG. What did you do to get people interested initially? What are good starting activities? Installfests, informal talks, ??? Any input would be much appreciated. Regards, Gora ________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
