If you find there is currently no GLUG/LUG in your company, start one
:-) I'd love to but there's little access to company resources when on-site. All I get is the essentials -- timesheets, documentation, knowledge center, etc.
i guess the only real resources you would need it bandwidth(with no restriction on the mailing list) and a decent amount of tea/coffee which nearly all companies give. The rest is just interaction between the people.
Also, looks like there's few (none?) active 'big corporate'
how big :-)
employees
(the self appraised tech-cream) on this list, mostly students and independent businessmen.
there are some of us working in corporates. In fact there are a couple of people on the list from where i consult/work(Cleartrip), you've given me some inspiration to start something there :-)
That's quite sad :(
It so happens to many that once the plunge is taken into a full time job, people tend to look at (GLUG/LUG)'s as a waste of time. They kind of forget that its still one of the coolest places to interact with some VERY interesting people. Also, many a time reading the good old linuxer's mail's is the most fun part of the day :-) really, especially the humorous comments and even the occasional flame war :-)
Lets see if something can be done at Cleartrip :-)
