uploaded to various Linux WWW and FTP sites, principally my homepage and
the Linux Documentation Project8.3 Please contribute to this HOWTOI welcome questions about and feedback on this document. Please send
them to me at kclark@cmpu.net. I am especially interested in
hearing from leaders of LUGs from around the world. I would like
to include real-life examples of the things described here. I would
also like to include a section on LUGs outside the United States,
since this HOWTO as it stands now is rather US-centric. Please let me
know if your group does things that should be mentioned in this HOWTO.8.4 Document history1.0 released on 13 July 19971.1: expanded online resources section1.3: added LUG Support Organizations and expanded the Legal and Organizational Issues section1.3.1: general editing for clarity and conciseness1.4: general editing, added new LUG resources1.4.1: general editing for clarity1.5: added some resources, some discussion of LUG documentation, also general editing1.5.1: changed Web location for this document and author's email address.1.5.2: new copyright and license1.5.3: miscellaneous edits and minor re-organizations1.6: added Chris Browne's material: Linux philanthropic

the time I've served as President of the North Texas Linux Users
Group. They helped inspire me to use Linux full-time. The best thing
about Linux really is the people you meet.I especially want to thank Chris Browne for describing the situation with
non-profit and charitable groups in Canada, his thoughts on financial
donations as a way to participate in Linux and the free software
movement, and his ideas about the kinds of political issues that may
arise within LUGs.In addition, the following people have made helpful comments and
