Ok ok ok..
here are some facts...
PLUG was started with 5 people on board ...
that's Doc Mana, Eric Pareja, Sammy Mallare, Rommel Feria and yours truly
way back in 1994.
The first meetings were usually held somewhere in Cubao -- Macdonald's New
Frontier to be exact, as that was the centrally located macdo from the five
of us.
We had several names to choose from -- including but not limited to ...
Philippine Linux User's Group (PLUG) and Philippine Linux User's Society
(PLUS).
Here's are two emails on the 2nd PLUG organizational meeting.
