August 19th      - Guest Speaker - Jon 'maddog' Hall, Linux International
6:00pm - 9:00pm    "Effective Linux Evangelism: Guerilla tactics for the masses"

  How do you convince someone to use Linux?  What are the things you tell
  them to win them over?  Too many times Linux advocates talk about the
  advantages of "Open Source" and "Freedom of software" when the listener
  only wants to hear "save money" and "easy to use."  Alternatively, how
  does the Linux community fight organizations with much more marketing
  money than the Linux community can gather?

  Jon "maddog" Hall has been in the computer industry for over thirty years,
  advocating what we now call "Open Source" and "Free Software."  He has
  been a programmer, systems designer, technical marketing manager,
  systems administrator and is now the Executive Director of
  Linux International.



LUGOD is a 501(c)(7) non-profit computer club made up of
Linux enthusiasts and professionals, and which holds regular meetings
twice a month in Davis, California, and other regular and semi-regular events.

LUGOD's goals are advocacy, education and support of Linux and Open Source,
and to provide a social environment for new users and gurus alike.
