of some folks who post here, my primary interest is in learning as much as I can about, you guessed it, LINUX. So, howzaboutit? If some folks wish to beat each other about the head and shoulders in a virtual world, why not go pick an open field and go at it for real instead of wasting our collective in-boxes with non-linux trivia?
(sorry for the double send. Gmail screwed up my list post)
A Linux Users Group I don't believe is a group of people with 1 specific topic being Linux. I believe it is a Social group that connects us with people who have passion and desire for technologies such as Linux, Open Source, and other topics that people like *us* are concerned about. Like the BMW motorcycle group. Do you really think they sit around talking about BMW motorcycles? No, the come together because of BMW motorcycles but the socialize, discuss, and grow to gether as a group of people.
Linux users used to be out there all on their own. Hell, as a subspecies of humanity called Geek/Hacker our very social life is one of loneliness as we sit in our basements every night hacking away only seeing our *friends* in small little text windows that scroll. To afraid of the outside world to have multitudes of friends like normal humans. Then formed Linux Users groups that took our depressing little sob story of loneliness and showed us that there are people out there just like us. It took us out of our basements and to an event where we can finally realize just how awesome it is to see a person face to face by offering us a social environment where we feel safe and welcome due to a common interest.
Linux User Groups bind geeks back into human interaction. Who says it has to be Linux interaction?
