<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">The Abertay Linux
Society was started to fill the
void of regular meetings for Linux users in Dundee. It's membership is
split between students and non-students, and everyone is welcome to
join, regardless of university attendance. Our ties with the Tayside LUG (Linux User Group) are very strong
indeed and most of our members are members of TayLUG as well.</span><br style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">
<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">
You don't have to have any Linux experience at all to come to one of our Bi-weekly meetings and you
will find plenty of people who enjoy helping people understand how Linux
works. </span></div><div class="gmail_quote"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Our meetings normally consist of an informal presentation on
numbers of subjects relating F.L.O.S.S (Free, Libre, Open-Source,
Software), computer Security and current events happening in the software world.</span><br style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">
<br style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">
<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">
The society promotes the use of non proprietary software as a core
replacement, with a friendly and relaxed approach and with a variety of
experience a good discussion is normally always expected.</span><br style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">
<br style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">
<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">
Our meetings are held every other Thursday at 7pm, and we are reasonably
easy to find, just meet us outside the foyer of Abertay's Kydd building, on Bell street.</span><br>
