32 !! Who's in charge?
33
34 It's really a community thing, but as an IncorporatedSociety (see WlugIncorporated), the [WLUG] is governed by the WlugCommittee. Committee meetings are held separately from [WLUG] presentation meetings.
35
36 !! How do I join the [WLUG]?
37
38 Anyone is welcome to take part on the list, to join the chatroom, the [#wlug] channel on the UnderNet [IRC] network (please note, [#wlug] is extremely informal, and is not affiliated with [WLUG] in any way. It just shares many of the same people), and to come to our monthly meetings. "Official" membership is not required. If you want to join the [LUG] formally, you are invited to sign up, pay a $20 membership fee. This will allow you to gain access to all sorts of cool things (including a shell account on the WlugServer and access to the WlugLibrary) and allow us to provide some internet-related services for everyone. Read JoinWlug to proceed.
39
40 !! Are there other [LUG]s?
41
42 See our LinuxUsersGroup page. Volker Kuhlmann also has [a comprehensive list | http://volker.dnsalias.net/linux/lists-nz.html] of [Linux] and OpenSource related lists in NewZealand. If this isn't the [WLUG] you are looking for, see [W-LUGs] for others.
43
44 !! Are you guys, like, really serious?
45
46 We sometimes like to think of ourselves in a humourous light. You might want to check out the WlugBananaRepublic. Or a bit of background information about WlugCulture. But we have a WlugLogo, so we must be for real.
44 CraigBox 47
48 Serious information is solicited through the WlugMailingList or the WlugSurvey.
