There is no what?

Everyone talks about "CLUG" - the Canterbury Linux Users Group. But there is no formal organisation bearing that name.

CLUG exists primarily as a mailing list, run from the University of Canterbury. That's it. Yes, there are regular meetings run by and for the people on the mailing list, and there is this wiki, but at the end of the day you're a part of the CLUG if you're a part of the community - no more, no less.

The mailing list has an open registration policy - as long as your email address works properly, you can join. When meetings are held, they are open too - if you're interested, come along and meet fellow Linux people. Depending on venue, we sometimes ask for gold coin donations to cover hire costs.

And that's basically it. It works.
