Where to Find the List of Linux User Groups in the UK on lug.org.uk

Updated

The list of Linux User Groups and associated groups in the United Kingdom is published on lug.org.uk itself. From the homepage, follow the link labelled "All LUGs" — that is the entry point to the directory. The list is there to help you find a local or topic-specific group, whether you want to join one, contact one, or check whether a group already exists in your area.

What lug.org.uk is

lug.org.uk is the UK Linux User Groups organisation. It provides technical services for User, Support or Interest Groups that are interested in, or advocate for, permissive licences — for example Free Software, Open Source Software and Linux distribution groups — in the United Kingdom.

Its infrastructure is provided by BitFolk.

What the list is for

The directory covers Linux User Groups and other associated groups across the UK. Use it when you want to:

  • Find a group near you, or one covering a topic you care about
  • Check whether a group already exists before starting your own
  • Get in touch with an existing group

How to reach it from the homepage

  1. Open the lug.org.uk homepage.
  2. Find the navigation entry labelled "All LUGs".
  3. Follow that link — it takes you to the list of Linux User Groups and associated groups in the United Kingdom.

If your group isn't listed

lug.org.uk offers groups free hosting of web sites and email addresses, mailing lists, and DNS hosting services. If you run a group that fits its remit, or you are thinking of starting one, the site points you to an application route ("Apply for lug.org.uk resources" / "applying"). That is the path to take if you want your group added and supported rather than only listed.
