                                      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
                                      Does anyone know what's happened to chesterfield's lug? Their website doesn't appear to exist anymore. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.spirelug.org.uk&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;www.spirelug.org.uk&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I was hoping to get involved in linux in my local community, I even tried to go to a meeting but there was noone about, i'm sure i was at the right place as there was a &quot;Spirelug this way&quot; sign on the wall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I may just be starting out in linux and i expected it to a challenge at first, but i wasn't expecting the local users to hide from me. Is it some sort of initiation test? I realise that some groups are very small and lack resources, so i would offer to help out where i can. I thought it would be advantageous to everyone to encourage new people to experiment with linux and that the community spirit is what open source development is all about.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I suppose i could always try sheffield, they seem more active and at least they have a presence on the web.</description>
