Penguin Europe: The EuroLugs network project (NewsForge)

covers
an FFII effort to organize European LUGs. "
Last April, many
GNU/Linux users, organized by the Foundation for a Free Information
Infrastructure (FFII), met in Brussels to demonstrate before the European
Parliament (EP) against the introduction of software patents in the
European Union. During the event, further protests were coordinated for the
following month in many European cities. Eventually, the guys in Brussels
found themselves asking, why don't we do this systematically? More
precisely, why don't we create EuroLugs, a permanent network of all
European LUGS and FLOSS associations, so we can act faster, all together
and more effectively?"
