Welcome !

This is the home page of the Durham Linux User Group. Durham LUG meets monthly in Durham.

24th September 2008:Great news, I (jgrabham) am planning to completely overhaul the site, however, I'm going to do it as part of my College course, so it will be a couple of months or so untill the new site is finished. In the meantime, I'm going to try to get the existing site as up-do-date as possible.

17th September 2008:Well, we're finally "Durham LUG", after going by the generaly consensus, and the fact that we're not the only LUG in the North East. I'm going to look into what's involved with lug.org.uk etc.

17th August 2007: The rowing club is now open again after the re-build. We will be returning to the club for our regular meeting.

20th March 2007: The Tap & Spile just wasn't working for NELUG... Therefore the meeting has been moved to the Clayport Library until the rowing club is back in use.

17th November 2006: The temporary meeting place while the Rowing Club is refurbished is... The Tap & Spile, Framwellgate Moor (Front Street)

14th November 2006: We have been informed that Durham Amateur Rowing Club will not be available for meeting from this month! So we desperately need a new venue.

1st August 2006: Durham Amateur Rowing Club will be pulled down and rebuilt, which means we'll need to find an alternative venue while this work is carried out... If you know somewhere we can meet while the building work is done, please let me know ASAP.

Work is due to start in October 2006!

27th April 2004: We now have discussion forums available, which can be accessed by going to http://www.nelug.org.uk/forum/. Registration is required to be able to post to the forums, but this only takes a couple of minutes.

Important: change of venue. From October 2001 we will be meeting in the bar at Durham Rowing Club. For directions see the activities page. There will be facilities to set up and network machines to try things out and to solve problems (no dialup facilities at this point).

We also operate a mailing list for NELUG business and Linux - related discussions. Information and subscription instructions are available on the MailMan website.

Next Meeting: 16th February 2010 19:30

Charter

1. NELUG is primarily a technical forum for Linux and OSS (Open Source Software) users in the North-East of England, regardless of experience. An important focus will be to provide support and assistance to new users.

2. A secondary aim is the promotion of Linux and OSS (Open Source Software) as an alternative - and in some situations preferable or more appropriate - operating system.
