History is History

This historical information we do have. Currently we would say the founding date is the date the domain was registered. So October 1998 was the first date we found. In September people were still just thinking about founding. Which means it should be at least 28 years old (2026)

The LUG became more or less inactive in 2009/2010. If you have other views or like to be included please contact us. This history currently is rather one sided. And I did not include full names, because I dont know if people wanted to be mentioned by their full name (without thier consent) – Thilo
