I was more fishing for national-level organisations which would be good springboard and supporters for a FS body in the UK. My idea of UKUUG is very much more as a pragmatic body than an advocacy one. Is that accurate? How many members are in their FS group?
Pretty accurate. No idea how many people are involved with them from a FS perspective, but it's much more as a support thing than an advocacy thing, definitely.
No, but ALUG is definitely interested in GNU as a whole and Linux and Hurd in particular. I seem to recall other LUGs having talks on Hurd already.
Yeah. Sheflug had RMS over not long ago, and I think HURD is definitely one of the up-and-coming things for this year. Heck, Dobbs had an article on it, must be important ;)) I take your point with regards LUG support for a FSFE/UK - I can't think of any reason, however small, that they might not support such a structure :)
