Ten ways to promote communication within a LUG:
***********************************************************************
* Build a list of LUG speakers, and the topics they specialise on.
* List readily available GNU/Linux software, where available, and
under what terms it can be borrowed.
* Set up your own website.
* Mailing-lists play an important role for communicating between meetings.
* List LUG members and contact details.
* Try to get new LUG members to introduce themselves on the mailing list.
* Expanding numbers is important
* Report regularly on LUG meetings. This build bridges to those not present.
* Plan for LUG meetings well in advance. Meetings with fixed agendas
generally attract more people than vague, no-agenda meetings.
* If nothing else works, trying to build more mini-LUGs in your area.
You never know how many LUGs need to be set up to uncover hidden
resources. [Compiled from various inputs by FN]
