LugRadio Live
LugRadio Live is an annual event organised by the LugRadio team and held in Wolverhampton. It is a Linux, Free Software and Open Source event intended to be fun, without the corporate agendas held by other commercial events. It was first held in 2005 with 250 attendees, 14 speakers and 18 exhibitors including Ubuntu, Debian, KDE and O'Reilly.
In 2006 LugRadio Live saw around 400 attendees, over 30 speakers including Mark Shuttleworth and Michael Meeks and 27 exhibitors including Ubuntu, OpenSolaris, KDE, MythTV, Debian, Fedora and GNOME.
Two LugRadio live events are planned for 2007: one in Wolverhapton and another in the United States to cater for the significant American listenership the show enjoys.
