Community Notes
BOMBAY LINUX
Jon Masters rounds up this month’s happenings in the Linux User Group (LUG) community.
It’s been another interesting month, but then, the Linux community doesn’t have many uninteresting months these days. Many of the LUGs have been following news as it happens. The obvious subjects are in there – Novell, Microsoft, open community letters from Ubuntu – but there were a variety of other topics I’ll briefly address in this issue. I’ll also introduce a new regular “LUG of the Month” feature, beginning with Bombay. The next issue will focus on the year in reflection. Look for coverage of what happened in a LUG near you over the past 12 months.
