Yeah, i think its amazing really 10 years ago,   the lug was different
more of a support group, as were other lugs,  now Linux is so easy to
install we don't really need install fests anymore.  In fact there are
questions as to how relevant lugs are,   some have come and gone in the
life time of the dcglug,  so I think the fact we are still here and
growing is a real testament to our dedication, and the dedication of the
admin team.

I think topics have changed,  over the years too, no longer just talking
about Linux but free software as a whole, and issue relating to closed
file formats,  and a much wider range of issues.

2009 was a great year for lug meets,  lets hope 2010 is even better.

lets make it better.
