The Albuquerque Linux User Group to be a group of people interested in learning and sharing the knowledge and experience of using Linux and Open Source software.
As with all LUGs our goals are Advocacy, Education, Support, and Socializing. Advocacy is first because a LUG is many times the only advertising agency that Linux ever has in a community. If we don't share the message, no one will hear. Second is education, because people need help learning how to use Linux. For the average user moving from Windows, Linux requires learning some basics. A LUG is a perfect place to learn about Linux. Third is support. Where do you go when you are having problems with your computer? Some times a local LUG is your only in person support. And lastly, socializing. This is last not because it isn't important, but because it shouldn't be our reason for existence. Linux is our reason for existing and therefore advocacy, education, and support of Linux is our focus.
If you know of any more New Mexico Linux resources, please let us know, and we will add them to this wiki. Or join the group to add changes, too.
