The Indian Linux User Group Trivandrum chapter(ilug-tvm) had been lying dormant for quite some time. However there has been a burst of activity within the group during the last two months. A few Linux enthusiasts including some of our own staff has decided that enough is enough and have successfully conducted ilug meetings for the last two months. The response has been very positive from the Linux Community. Zyxware Technologies as a company has decided to support this movement in whatever way we can, to keep this movement going.
