From ScotLUG

26 people at the April LUG I think, which seems good to me, but as its my first Scotlug I'm no expert. The primary event was of course the quiz, which my company put up an xbox* for.

With some difficult questions interspersed with some interesting Glasgow banter a la Kev, there emerged a clear winner...the team I was in. Edward, Neuro, Pickle and Me were victorious. We hadn't yet won an xbox though, that mystical object would not be in our grasp until everyone who was interested in it was eliminated in a 15-1 quiz show fashion. By sheer luck I won this, but I could hardly take the xbox myself so it went to my team mate Pickle. He is now expected to hack this box and install Linux - Georgia has offered to help with this if needed :). It was nice to meet the few people I did get to speak to, hopefully Ill get to know some of you better at future events. cheers

• In case anyone wonders at the reason for this you can see

here that we are a training partner with Red Hat and wish to build ties to real linux users (as a source of employees as well as possible clients :) ). Look out for an "open evening" soon with linux freebies, presentations and the like. Check the 2nd link for our location.
