This autumn, the normally quiet streets of Wolverhampton will be echoing to the hurrying feet of Free Software, GNU/Linux enthusiasts as they head towards this year’s LUG Radio Live.
For the many local people including reporters form the infamous Express and Star, the event will go unnoticed. They will be unaware that this picturesque little city perched on an imposing hill will be the centre of a technological world event.
And now a word from the LUG Radio Team:
LugRadio Live 2009 is building up to be an awesome event with lots of mini things happening between now and the 24th October.
Some of you may have already seen/heard snippets of information that has released via IRC: !lrl2009, !lugradio, Identi.ca, Twitter etc. Now we need your help, LugRadio Live is only possible by the hard work and generosity of the Linux Community, over the years within Linux there has been a constant statement of “How can I contribute?” well now is your chance.
Talk about it, Blog about it, every IRC channel you’re in mention it, on a mailing list or forum? Post about it. Spread the word and get your friends, family, colleagues and enemies to come along. Do you know anyone who will want to give a talk or run an exhibition stand? Tell them to contact us.
No matter where you are in the world you know or have contact with someone who can attend LugRadio Live.
In return for your hard work we promise you a great day out for all the family (Keep in mind there maybe adult themes and language) some world class speakers, hundreds of Linux users, free give-aways, and stalls for you to spend all your hard earned cash plus the kudos of knowing you did your part to contribute.
