What is GoLug
	Greater Orlando Linux User Group.
	A LUG.
	Currently an email only LUG.
	We have meetings and Installfests.
		See http://www.golug.org
	We are not incorporated.
		The original plan was to incorporate.
			Bylaws.
			Executive Committee.
			Dues.
		But the advent of two more local LUGs made incorporation impractical.
			Dues would be necessary in a corporation.
			Dues would be impractical in a multilug area.

		All that is required is to follow our etiquette guidelines.
Why was GoLug created?
	To give Orlando residents a hiqh quality mailing list.
