About ShefLUG

Admin on January 21st, 2010

The Sheffield Linux User’s Group was set up to help to promote GNU/Linux and BSD software and to assist those people who are interested in related issues. Many long distance discussions have taken place about Open Source and Free software at our meetings and through our discussion list since 1999 which is the year that we came into existence. If you would like to know more about software licences and related issues have a look at the BSD licence and the General Public Licence or GPL. Technical support in the form of e-mail or verbal advice is free and has been available to anyone for ten years. Low cost CDs and boot disks are also available. Books and other help can also be provided.

Our monthly meetings are either formal or informal. Some idea of numbers that might turn up are usually found through the amount of e-mail that is presently circulating. If this doesn’t help send e-mail through our contacts page to get in touch with someone. Any constructive comments or help for other people is greatly appreciated. Many people have thanked us for our assistance over the years.

If you wish to pass some info on to the group then it’s best to subscribe yourself to the Sheflug discussion list . If you want to have a look at our mail archive please click on the mail archive link to the right of this page. We also have a Phorum bulletin board which is used for announcements. Click on the Phorum link for that.

If you wish to provide support for a particular application this would provide a good deal of help for everyone. We look forward to seeing you and hope that you get all the help that you need to become an informed GNU/Linux or BSD user.

We do have sponsors. If you’d like to see some of them please click here . We are also involved in book reviews. If you would like a good read please click here .
