I totally agree. LUGs are there for any Linux user be they aligned to Ubuntu, Redhat, Slackware or whatever. > We are not intending to impose ourselves on LUGs or in anyway replace > LUGs, just to have symbiotic relationship in which we are good at Ubuntu > things and LUGs are good at general free software things. > Agreed. Whilst I am of the opinion that many LUGs in the UK could really do with some invigoration, we (Ubuntu-*) need to be careful not to over-do the Ubuntu side of things. LUGs pre-date Ubuntu and Ubuntu-UK by some considerable margin, they have many hundreds of members in the UK and many of them are quite active whether we (Ubuntu-*) are there or not. We (Ubuntu-*) need to be careful not to "take over", "muscle in", or in any way make them feel that they have to use Ubuntu whilst at the same time help to invigorate and stimulate growth in those LUGs.
