Linux Users Group [LUG] - Organizations - Roberts Space Industries

History

Borne from the community on the RSI forums in multiple Linux related threads, including the people at the “Unofficial Linux Thread on the old forums and in the old Hardware forums, this organization grew from a vision to unite Linux-using Star Citizen gamers; to share knowledge, skills, stories, and fun.

If you wanted to talk about the origin of Linux, we could probably start with Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, Richard Stallman or Linus Torvalds, but hey, check it out on your Mobiglas yourself: “Linux”, “Free and open-source software” on Wikipedia.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

In 2952 Linux is still widely used, owing to its open-source nature, ensuring that anyone anywhere can improve and share their improvements and allowing the end-user complete control. Having been one of the first systems in space (both for machinery, embedded systems and user laptops) and operating in military hardware, other embedded systems like mobile phones, servers, super computers, mobiglas models, etc. it has great proven reliability and an excellent track record.

Manifesto

Here at LUG, we intend to connect fellow Linux users and help each other especially with Linux related issues pertaining to Star Citizen. We may advocate Linux as a platform and organise input for the developers so that they can make the BDSSE, including for Linux users!

We welcome BSD, Mac, *nix users, etc. and all interested in Linux. Just like the platform Linux, all are welcome! As this is mainly a non-RP, out-of-universe org and a LUG, we don’t mind what other organisations our members are in. We are neutral and will not take any particular org’s side. People from different alliances and conflicting organisations are all welcome! However, we ask that you leave bad relations – be it warring orgs or personal conflicts – at the door, so we can have effective discussions. Feel free to pick them back up when you go on your way into space again.

Our views are akin to that of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) and other fostering democratic constitutions – we support free speech and encourage healthy discussions, debates and questions. However, we as a typical Linux community, wish to teach the person how to fish and not give them fish, and so for simple and easy problems may tell you to Google(LMGTFY) or RTFriendlyM.

We view that all human beings have equal and inalienable human rights, and so we endeavour to treat everyone with respect as we would like to be respected.

Charter

Respect all: Be helpful, be good.
No flaming, baiting or trolling.

We ask that you leave bad relations – be it warring orgs or personal – at the door. Feel free to pick them back up when you go on your way into space again.
