About Us

We were founded in January 2003 for the purpose of supplementing and complimenting the activities of other Linux User's Groups. As censorship is a sensitive issue in general, it was decided by FLALUG's founding members that arbitrary rules on a LUG list are counter-productive and an alternative was necessary to help the free software movement remain free.
The FLALUG mailing list is an english language list that is geographically neutral. Anyone, anywhere who wants help with gnu/linux is welcome.
The character of our email list is different than that of some LUGs in that the rule set is sparse and simple, allowing our subscribers to enjoy both freedom and responsibility:  Should you know of an IT job that might be of interest, post it. If you have some hardware or linux-related software to sell, post it.  If you have a question, post it. We will allow anything as long as it isn't totally out of line.
Some of us are experts, others are newbies.  In either case, we all have the same goal...to advance the Linux movement!
