History
In 1990s, several HKLUG or similar organizations have been established by different groups of people. However, most are stopped due to some problem. In October 1997, some Hong Kong GNU/Linux users discussed in StarZine starforum.comp.unix that they want to have a local LUG in Hong Kong. They met on IRC and vote for the EXCO team re-establishing the HKLUG.
歷史
在過去幾年，香港曾有幾班不同的人先後組成幾個 HKLUG 及類似組織，但大部份都因為一些原因而結束。 1997 年 10 月於 星光 starforum.com.unix 新聞組的一輪討論中，一班香港 GNU/Linux 用戶組織起來並在 IRC 中選出新一屆幹事，而 HKLUG 亦宣佈重新再成立。
