Just a brief note to say I've created a listing of LUGs, FSUGs, GLUGs and other user groups around India. If you find any error or omission in the listing, I'd be grateful if you could draw it to my attention.
The list is at:
http://wikiwikiweb.de/LugsList
Needless to say, you are more than welcome to copy, reproduce or improve this listing. Thank you! FN

GNU/Linux user groups... from India and Asia
A list of the useful user groups that help in spreading Free/Libre and Open Source Software. Would really appreciate any help in updating and correcting this list and keeping it current. Let's try to network all the 'little' GNU/LUGs, who badly need your support to grow. FN (Frederick Noronha in Goa)
