GNU/Linux user groups... from India and Asia
A list of the useful user groups that help in spreading Free/Libre and Open Source Software. Would really appreciate any help in updating and correcting this list and keeping it current. Let's try to network all the 'little' GNU/LUGs, who badly need your support to grow. FN (Frederick Noronha in Goa)
