Another fantastic meeting was held at the EACOSS centre in Nakawa.
As the poll topic was "Linux Gaming", Kyle, Reinier and I chose to download a variety of games we thought showcased Linux gaming at it's best. Namely the following;
OpenArena
Battle of Wesnoth
Tux Racer
Frozen Bubble.
I think openarena managed to grab everyones attention with the number of kills going on! (4 for yours truely!).
We didn't get to show off all the games such as
VegaStrike
FlightGear
Enemy Territory
Assault Cube
LegacyDoom
PenMush
SecondLife Education Centre which is on Ntinda Road.
A map and LUG event poster is attached below.

Admission to the LUG Meeting is entirely free. A cash bar will operate for refreshments. We will have a kiosk stuffed with free software for you to take home with you. Bring USB drives or blank media. A limited supply of blank CD/DVD's will be available for 1,000UGX for those who cannot supply their own.
LAST month, Ugandan computer users got a warning regarding pirating Microsoft software. Those who are affected have to pay hefty penalties, while others have to think about alternatives since pirated software is cheaper than the originals.
Some software experts advise that those who can not afford Microsoft software should try out free and open-source software, instead of having to suffer the unexpected repercussions of illegally obtaining and using commercial software.
