LUGS Meeting Announcements

LUGS is having its Annual General Meeting this month kindly hosted in conjunction with the Singapore Linux Meetup Group (SLMG) meeting at SMU SIS Seminar Rm 2-2 on Wednesday August 26th at 7.00pm

See details on the LUGS AGM here: LugsAgm2009. All are welcome to join for the event / members and non-members alike. There is likely to be some lively debate regarding the future of Singapore's oldest and longest running Linux Users Groups. While it has not been so active of late we are hoping you can all help re-invigorate it. Please come and join.

LUGS Sister organization SLMG hosts regular meetings with interesting topics related to Linux and Open Source. Subscribe to the meetup group here: http://linux.meetup.com/5/. Subscribing to the LUGS Mailing List (See LugsMailingListFaq) is also a good idea as various other Linux related events are posted about on the list.

Please email committee at lugs dot org dot sg if you have a topic you would like to present to the LUGS community. Previous meeting announcements are here: LugsMeetings
