Meet Up

The Devon and Cornwall GNU / LInux user group is consists of over 200 members spread out over the region.    Due to the Rural nature of the area, arranging meetings can be difficult.

These events are good for meeting up and chatting with other people with similar interests.   Clearly there is scope for meetings in other areas,  if you want to organise a meeting then just find a quiet place to meet, e.g pub, cafe and announce on the list you are going to be there and at what time,,  then see who turns up,  ideally they will answer via the list so you won’t be alone.  Once there are a few of you then you can look into expanding what you do.  Above all have fun.
