Hi all, I received an inquiry from Frederic Muller, President of the Beijing Linux user group (BLUG) as follows:

To answer the questions I can see in this email exchange, yes I would love to be introduced to the HanoiLUG (and also the HoChiMinh LUG - but the HanoiLUG can probably do that) and I have been in contact with Soon-Son Kwon (Shawn) from kldp.org in Korea. The purpose of contacting all those LUGs is for Victoria Ho from ZDNet Asia to write a second article (she wrote a first one which you can find here: http://www.zdnetasia.com/news/software/0,39044164,62039551,00.htm ) about LUGs in Asia. I believe there are a lot more than just 3 LUGs to talk about and one problem Victoria had, is that people did not send any response to her emails. I therefore offered my help in order to give credits to all the people like us who need to be represented and show we are a strong and united community. Victoria has 4 questions to ask to LUGs and I am just trying to get in touch with as many as possible (already contacted about 25-30 LUGs in Asia) and get the answers by the end of this month if possible. The 4 questions are: * How was 2007 for your group? * What are some changes you foresee in your plans for 2008? * How has membership changed in the last few years? More vocal now? More members now? * Is the focus of your group discussion changing from a few years? Looking forward to hear from Japanese LUGs, and soon Vietnamese LUGs. Thanks a lot in advance.

So we can have some discussion under this thread. Regards -- Agence universitaire de la Francophonie - Bureau Asie-Pacifique
