Lanka Linux User Group

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lanka Linux User Group, also known as LK-LUG, is the premier organization in Sri Lanka for promoting Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). Since its beginnings in 1998 with 40 members, hundreds of GNU/Linux enthusiasts around the world have joined.

Members of the LK-LUG community are diverse: some use GNU/Linux at home for multimedia, gaming and Internet, while some others use it at work to run large scale, mission critical applications. Activities of the Group include helping each other over the mailing lists, educating the general public by participating at exhibitions, workshops and media, and pushing the use of FOSS in national ICT programmes.

LK-LUG also is working on localizing GNU/Linux desktop to Sinhala language. The Group has made good progress in converting some major components. A Live-CD based distribution is available.
