[Steve Anderson]

A decent source of info on LUGs (Linux User Groups) is the LUG HOW-TO
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/User-Group-HOWTO.html

Below is an extract from it on LUG meetings.

5.1 Meetings 

As I said above, physical meetings are synonymous with LUGs and with
most computer user groups. LUGs have these kinds of meetings: 

       social 
       technical presentations 
       informal discussion groups 
       user group business 
       Linux installation 
       configuration and bug-squashing 

What do LUGs do at these meetings? 

       Install Linux for newbies and strangers 
       Teach members about Linux 
       Compare Linux to other operating systems 
       Teach members about the software that runs on Linux 
       Discuss the ways in which Linux can be advocated 
       Discuss the importance of the Free Software Movement 
       Discuss the business of the user group 
       Eat, drink, and be merry
