Meetings take place monthly, in Leicester, for informal discussion and sharing of ideas, etc.

It is proposed that there are 2 meeting formats :

Main meetings

This consists of an informal presentation about a topic of interest to the group followed by general question and answer sessions. Notes from these meetings may be posted to the web site.

Interim meetings

This is not so structured - and is more of a 'free for all' where users can bring along a PC and demo something they like, or get help doing something. Each meeting will generally have a theme - although amost anything could crop up ! This is also an ideal opportunity for newcomers to Linux to try it, or even bring their PC to get it installed!
