ManLUG (Manchester Linux User Group) is recognised as the oldest user group dedicated to Linux in the UK. We have been holding meetings in what is now the Kilburn building each month since its inception in the early 1990′s.
After a reoganisation of the building in 2009 the University wanted to charge us for the use of the room and extra staffing. We have never had a door charge and weren’t going to start one so there hasn’t been a meeting since then.
In 2010 we have been looking around for an alternative venue but so far without much luck, although the February 2010 meeting was held at MadLAB,
If you look through the meetings, you” see that our very first meeting was way back in 1994 on the 22nd November. At the moment there are quite a few gaps in the history of ManLUG but they are being filled in gradually as content is transferred over from the previous Joomla based system to WordPress..
