AbertayLinuxSociety
From ScotLUG
The University of Abertay Dundee Linux Users Society -

The Abertay Linux Society was started to fill the void of regular meetings of Linux users in Dundee. It's membership is split between students and non students, and everyone is welcome to join. Our ties with the Tayside LUG (Linux User Group) are very strong indeed and most of our members are members of TayLUG as well, we have in recent months shared the same meeting which has worked very well indeed. The society aims is to promote Linux and open source software to new and experienced users.
You don't have to have any Linux experience to come to a meeting and you will find lot's of people who enjoy helping people understand how Linux works. Our meetings normally consist of a informal presentation on numbers of subjects relating F.L.O.S.S (Free, Libre, Open-Source, Software) and current events happening in the software world.
The society promotes the use of non proprietary software as a core replacement, with a friendly and relaxed approach and with a variety of experience a good discussion is normally always expected.
Our meetings are held every other Thursday at 7pm, and we are reasonably easy to find;
Cinema (3rd floor) Students Association Building Bell Street, Dundee
(Just across from the main University of Abertay Campus building - http://www.abertay.ac.uk/About/documents/AbertayMAp.pdf)
After the meeting you are welcome to join us for a beer (or whatever you drink in the Union bar) and a good old chin-wag
