I don't have time to participate personally but if another BRLUG member is 
interested they can step up. Otherwise, keep us updated on how this goes.

I guess the big effect of the LPD is not that it would enable LUGs to do 
something they could not do on their own (although being part of something big 
makes the organizing easier). IMHO the big effect is that due to the LPD the 
LUGs (and others) now have "a good reason" to do something once or twice per 
year.

Subject: [brlug-general] expanding Europe's Linux Presentation Day to the US

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. The local organizers decide on their own 
what their event shall be like; we just make suggestions and offer support.


You can find a longer description of the concept here:

http://www.linux-presentation-day.org/idea/


Are you as an organization interested in participating in the LPD? If not: Are 
any of your members interested in helping us bring the LPD to the US?

This event is very useful for finding new LUG members.


Best regards,

(Mr.) Hauke Laging

2016-12-07 Thread Joey Kelly

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.
