Title
Montreal Linux Users Group
Description
We are a group of hobbyists and professionals who want to promote GNU/Linux in every aspect, be it business, education, home desktop...
How the group originally started is beyond me, all I know (btw, I'm Nicholas Accad, MLUG webmaster, also known as TON for The Other Nick, that is because there is also Nick Sklav, who was there before me, one member calls me TOWN, for The Other Wacky Nick.. anyway, TON stuck).. like I was saying, all I know is that when I arrived in Montreal as an immigrant back in May 2000, I was looking for a local LUG, and I stumbled across MLUG, back then the URL was http://mlug.2y.net (dead now) and it was running on a DSL connection from Alan's office (more about Alan later), the mailing list was hosted at Topica
Alan's office in Verdun is also where I attented my first meeting, and it's where the meetings were held every now and then until we decided to make it a fixed date (the second friday of the month). Coffee and cookies/muffins/donuts were the main theme that got us together, we'd just hang out, nothing formal.
