Hi Becky, Although I do not have time to attend the meetings, I have attended a few, and everyone is very friendly. I did not find everyone jumping up to say hello to a new person, but they were all happy to chat about stuff if I approached someone at random. I learnt about vital stuff I did not know about before going, for example "Frozen Bubble" !!! I don't know how you intend to travel to the meeting, but one option is to ask on the LUG mailing list for a lift. If someone offers, for security I would double check with some of the Hants LUG commitee members how well they know the person before jumping in a car with them. You can't be too careful nowdays. My involvement in Linux is that I am a Linux kernel developer and I also contribute to a number of different open source projects.
