Testimonials
This page contains testimonials about LUGOD,
the Linux Users' Group of Davis. Some comments are by members and attendees,
some by guest speakers, and others from people who have stumbled across our
website.
- Such a diversity
Carl McCabe, 2004.Sep.23
"I don't remember ever seeing such a diversity of ages and
interests."
- Amazing speakers and presentations
Andrew Arnett - 2003.Dec.16
"I was a LUGOD meeting lurker last year, but I'm in San Diego, now.
I do miss the amazing speakers and presentations LUGOD always has. Is
that due to a core group of volunteers? LUGOD is amazingly better than
any other special interest non-profit group I have ever seen."
- Follow your Design
Drew Shelley - 2003.Mar.30
"...I have to say that I am impressed. I like the content variety, layout
and volume of information available [on your site] ... I am feeling somewhat
inspired by your 'public awareness campaigns'."
- Great things about LUGOD
Troy - 2002.Oct.21
"It's been interesting participating in both groups, although I've been
out of the state and unable to get to meetings for either lately. There
are definitely some great things about LUGOD that I'd like to help
integrate into NBLUG. The LUGOD Advocacy dept. is in particular
top-notch. Plus, when I was in davis I checked out many a LUGOD donated
book from the yolo co. library."
- Convivial
Francois Gouget, CodeWeavers - 2002.Oct.4
"...the LUG itself is also very convivial with very nice people..."
- Fine Users' Group
Jim Lowman - 2002.Aug.25
"It's amazing to me that not only are there two monthly meetings, but
also that you can get good speakers for each..."
- Delve into things
Eric Nelson - 2002.Aug.17
"I like your group because you guys really delve into things..."
- Most Incredibly Organized
Karsten Self - 2002.Aug.07
"I've been with and/or attended meetings with SVLUG, BALUG, NBLUG,
LXNY..."
- The Cult Of Linux
Forbes magazine - 2002.July
"A century-old retailer changes to Linux and cuts not only expenses, but
aggravation too. ... There are more options for Web-browsing with Unix than
with Windows. Better yet, they're good ones."
- Fascinating
Nancy Bloom - 2002.June.6
"You have a great club..."
- Eye Opener
Murry Shohat and Rick Lehrbaum - 2002.May.21
"This was a great experience... What you are doing at LUGOD is
most impressive."
- Welcoming Environment
Bill Weir - 2002.May.21
"Thanks. It was well worth the drive [...] And a good welcoming
environment. Although I can't come regularly, I'll certainly be up there
for topics of particular interest."
- LUGOD has its act together
Rick Moen - 2002.Apr.12
"LUGOD has always really had its act together
(for which all credit goes to your esteemed volunteers!)"
- Linux changes you...
Don Werve - 2002.Mar.20
"I came to the realization that, as a Linux user, I hadn't even bothered
to look at my workstation for months... The reset button has never been
used."
- Very Important Group
Dr. Andy Jones, Dr. Andy's Technology and Poetry Hour, KDVS Radio -
2002.Mar.06
"[The Linux Users' Group of Davis is] probably doing more from a
non-university, non-corporate perspective than any other group here
in the city of Davis."
- No Harder
Christine Scobee - 2001.Dec.26
"People would come out of [the Linux courses] knowing
more about their computer than many Windows users know about their computer
after years of using it."
- Non-Geek Linux Advantages
Robert G. Scofield - 2001.Dec.25
"The geeks on this list know why Linux is better than Windows. But
here are three reasons why Linux is better for the non-geek."
- es1371 and why I love open source
Gabriel Rosa - 2001.Dec.15
"Now, if I were running Windows and my joystick didn't work, what are
the chances that: The driver would be open source; If not, that I would
know who the author was; I would have the author's email address; He would
be awake at 4am; He would be willing to change things for me; He would give
me a binary to test every 15mins until it worked?"
- Helpful Responses
Jay Strauss - 2001.Nov.28
"Vox-Tech is my favorite Linux list, and I always get helpful
responses."
- VOX for Newbies
Christine Scobee - 2001.Aug.28
"It's nice to know that there are people here who will take the time
to try to explain"
- Up To Date
Stephen Helms - 2001.Jun.20
"Why did I choose LUGOD? ... a very nice easy to follow / understand
and up to date website."
- Quickly
Christine Scobee - 2001.Jun.19
"I would be very surprised if there's another LUG that has this kind
of organization, given the same amount of time in which to construct
it."
- LERT Rescues Box
Eric Engelhard - 2001.Jun.07
"LUGOD has consistently proven itself as not only a fun club,
but also a valuable resource."
- Linux: the Swiss Army Knife of OSes
Larry Snyder - 2001.Mar.31
"LUGOD is the resource which helped me understand
enough about Linux finally to make practical use of it."
- Linux Men are Great
Anonymous Coward - 2000.Aug
"They have gotten their hands dirty working for a better way of life,
not just for computer users, not just for American's... but for all of
mankind."
