Ask Slashdot: How To Start and Manage a University LUG?

Posted by timothy on from the you'll-need-a-lug-wrench dept.

New submitter ckugblenu writes "I'm an undergrad computer engineering student in Ghana with some Linux knowledge under my belt. How do I start a Linux users group at my university and what kind of activities should occur? The engineering department is willing to provide meeting space, but that's about it. The other computer groups are into mobile web and not as specialized as I would like. How do I successfully achieve it and build a following, since it will be the first in the university?"

    I went to a LUG once when I was still retarded and thought Linux on the desktop was a good idea. I'll never forget the stench emanated from the greasy fat neckbeards there.
