I must admit most people I speak to don't know what a LUG is. I try and explain it's like a computer group for people who use the GNU/Linux operating system. I suppose one way of explaining it to non-techies is saying the LUG is like a support community where people help each other out. Anyway, yeah, I'll see if I can come up with some ideas.
