Found this......


Hawaii Linux Users AnonymoUs (LUAU)LUAU is a Linux users group on the island
> of Oahu in Hawaii. Our charter is to bring the advantages of Linux, aswell
> as it's cost effectiveness, to Oahu and the rest of Hawaii. We are in no way
> documented experts, but are a group ofpeople that have found the advantages
> of using Linux. Linux can be a utility to learn UNIX at a more reasonable
> price,as well as being fun for people that like to explore operating
> systems. It is also an option for those that wish to use Linux as the
> operating system of choice on a PC.
>
> Approximately 45 Linux users attended the March 99 LUAU meeting. It was
> held on March 16th at the ManoaInnovation Center near the University of
> Hawaii - Manoa. The meeting produced several positive comments from
> thosethat attended. First there was a network set up in theconference room
> with a server and 3 clients. The server provided internet access through ip
> masquerading and acted asa SAMBA server. The clients were able to reach the
> outside net and mount resources from the SAMBA server. OneLinux PC
> demonstrated VMWare through which a Linux box can simultaneously run another
> operating system. There was the opportunity for those that were present to
> sign up for special groups designated to perform certainLUAU activities.
> These activities include Web Site maintenance, Linux Installation help, and
> Linux documentation toname a few. Separate mailing lists are set up to
> provide members with a forum to exchange work and ideas. In late May, there
> is a chance that Eric Raymond may speak at a LUAU meeting. The planning is
> in the very early stages, and the event has not been confirmed. If this
> develops into a reality, it will provide Linux and LUAU some needed exposure
> here in Hawaii.
>
> While our group has been in existence for a few years, it has not been
> extremely formal. It has provided a vastamount of assistance and guidance to
> those new and old to Linux. Many members stay with LUAU while others go onto
> do other things with the knowledge gained from the LUAU. A number of members
> have jobs involving Linux or other operating systems which greatly
> contributes to the group's knowledge base. A few members currently live on
> the mainland and are still very active in the mailing list. There is also a
> number of users who leave for otherparts of the world taking with them the
> experience gathered while a LUAU member. There is currently a drive
> toorganize our group into more of a coherent organization. This has met with
> some resistance, but many feel that better organization would allow us to
> give more back to the Linux community at large.
>
> More information will be available as the group develops. Anybody with the
> desire to learn Linux or teachsomeone how to use it is welcome to join. This
> is a free group in price and the expression of ideas.
