Ahh, good point. Finally, a full disclosure to avoid a flame war. AUUG Inc. The other's a red fedora. AUUG's background is in the commercial mainframe area in big compamnies and linux's background is in the very small desktop box for individual people. AUUG is real suit turf.
LUGgers apologise for wearing the bag of fruit to meetings.
AUUG comes across as a slow, old, dying elephant, that is exceedingly slow to respond where as LUG's are more like a mouse that is all over the place and very responsive. Well, two years later we gave up waiting for feedback and organised our own organisation. When this first sub-group was first mooted, I joined AUUG and it was like stepping back in time. It is the first organisation where I've said that I am not getting involved. I just felt that it was dying and would take an enormous effort to revitalise it.
