The LUG Traveling initiative
- exemplified in Kunming, China
The Kunming
Linux User Group
(LUG)
started up August 18th, 2005 as a budding of this Travelling
Initiative of Scientific.dk*. These new city-LUGs are issued with renovated
computers, which they can optimize and pre-install for their own
practice and later they can help to spread the Linux PCs to schools,
farms and low-tech companies in rural areas. The Scientific.dk* company
likes to back-up with coordinating and establishing training support
for the new LUGs. KunmingLUG has like any Linux User Group set the
goal of facilitating & promoting the use of Linux and to develop
further Linux applications to contribute to the international Open
Source Society. To motivate and ease both purposes the KunmingLUG
establishes internal & external communication between members and
to the puplic such as creating a homepage, a wiki, a Linux-chatroom,
create public meetings and present different optimized Linux embedded
equipment and computers (as in the
OpenSource
(OS) Exploratorium**).
So
far we are 21 members, the organisation is established with a
president (Dong Qin), a coordinator for application development
(Victor E. Roetman), a student in charge of homepage & the
cooperation to the University (Liu Shuang) and me as an initiator &
sparring partner (Phillip Bøgh, Scientific.dk*). The Foreign Affairs
of the Yunnan administration, the Beijinglug.org and the Chinese
Embassy in Denmark have recognized the idea positively, The
KunmingLUG has a:
1.Wiki at http://wiki.kunminglug.org.
Please
visit this web site for further information!
2.A
LumaQQ chatroom on the adress: 6966421
3.For personal technical assistence
we'll meet at The
Hump
4.We have received an option to make a presentable room at Yunnan University school of software.
The company *Scientific.dk* works international like
http://klid.dk/english
in Denmark. Wherever we find no LUG, our vision is to establish one
for self-support, where we find no presentation agents for Linux
we´ll try to create communication and an OS Exploratorium** in
the cooperation with local LUGs, and high level education
institutions (such as the School of Software at Yunnan
University). Often helping students in computer-english.
Scientific.dk request donations for our support effort from the fast growing
commercial Linux-industry and donor organisations.
