Greetings from LugRadio Live UK
On Saturday 24th October 2009, several hundred Linux users from all over
the world will be descending on Wolverhampton for LugRadio Live UK 2009
LugRadio Live is the largest British community driven event for the
members of the worldwide Linux users and developers it attracts a wide
range of interested individuals and organisations. Speakers at previous
events included Chris DiBona from Google, Mark Shuttleworth of
Canonical, Michael Sparks of the BBC, Becky Hogge of the Open Rights
Group and Gervase Markham of the Mozilla Foundation.
The event has developed a strong reputation for providing a range of
topics about free software, Open Source, digital rights, technology and
much much more, with a compelling list of speakers, and exhibitors,
wrapping it all in a unique, fun and social event which is open to
everyone. The event is often described as combining the atmosphere of a
rock concert and a computer conference. Now in its 5th year LugRadio
Live has firmly established itself as a 'must go to' event in the Linux
community calendar and ranks amongst as one the foremost events of the year.
LugRadio Live was born out of LugRadio which is a podcast that takes a
relaxed, humorous look at Linux and open source. The show was formed by
several members of the Wolverhampton Linux users group, Jono Bacon,
Stuart Langridge, Stephen Parkes and Matthew Revell, with the first
episode being made available for download on 26 Feb 2004 (this was
before the word 'podcast' was invented!). While there have been some
changes in personnel and guest presenters over the years, the four
regular presenters have always been members of the WolvesLUG.
We hope to see you there.
Regards
