Since you're about to spam NOLUG (oops, someone deleted you from there? tsk), I figure I'm qualified to address this here.
The proper etiquette is to contact the list owner or LUG administrator and ASK PERMISSION to post your content. The admin can then decide to FORWARD it to the list, or decline to do so. Doing it the way you did insures that we become instant enemies. --Joey On 12/06/2016 04:33 PM, Hauke Laging wrote: > Hello, > > in May 2015 Berlin's Linux user group (BeLUG) has started a new type of event > which has spread quickly all over Europe: the Linux Presentation Day (LPD) > > 2015.1: Berlin only > 2016.1 & 2016.2: 120+ cities in 15 countries > 2017.1: first locations outside Europe (Canada, New Zealand, probably more) > > I contact you because we intend to expand the LPD beyond Europe next year. > > The aim of the LPD towards the general public is to provide biannual and > comprehensive information events about Linux for private users who would like > to get a first impression of Linux. > > The aim towards the media is to make the event so big (both nationally and > internationally) that the nationwide non-IT media cover it regularly. > > The aim towards the Linux community is that an LPD event can be so small and > easy to organize (even without costs) that really everyone can try to > organize > an event with good chances of success.
