NAME
        wilug - Wisconsin Linux Users' Group

SYNOPSIS
        wilug {thing} [other stuff if you want...]

DESCRIPTION
        WILUG doesn't really exist; it's basically an online cesspool
        inhabited by members of real Wisconsin Linux and Unix groups (see 
        SEE ALSO). It's like an umbrella, but turned upside down and 
        filled with radioactive lollipops and eliteists.

        thing may be one of the following options:

        irc     We hang out on irc.freenode.net in the channel #wilug. 
                Statistics for the channel are also available.

        http    You're already here.

        All other stuff will be silently ignored.

    Presentations
        otay showed us how to connect to Oracle.

        spinal4ever gave a talk on Oracle security.

        Many thanks to our volunteer speakers!

        We've also had a series of 'lightning talks' on a variety of 
        technical subjects.

DO NOT SEE ALSO
        There are some other 'things' on the internet that seem as if they
        might be WILUG:
            
            http://www.freelists.org/list/wislug

        These 'things' are not WILUG. There can only be one fake pan-
        Wisconsin Linux/Unix/BSD group, and this is it. Look at us; don't look
        at them.

HISTORY
        #wilug was created on irc.freenode.net by lt_kije on 30 January, 2006.
        Nobody really used it at first: #madlug and #newlug seemed good
        enough. But then, lo, the conversations became disjointed and rizbot
        became a bug. So we merged on 20 December, 2006.

        A domain name (wilug.us) and web page were added on 1 January, 2007.

        On 2 January, 2007, a transparent and democratic vote lead to an
        undesirable outcome so lt_kije arbitrarily chose 30 January as the
        official birthday of the various WILUG entities. 

        On 30 January, 2007, in honor of The Birthday, sargeantd procured and
        donated wilug.org for the exclusive use of WILUG. sargeantd was then
        promoted to sergeant.

        On 27 June, 2007, we decided to never forget the fact that, earlier
        that day, Freenode staff awoke like sleeping dragons from their
        digital stupor to read their email with bleary, eldritch eyes, and
        realize that, yea, we had bugged them for like six months and, verily,
        they should give us a frigging groupmask. And they did.

        On 25 April, 2008, remcycle found #wilug by using this webpage (see
        BUGS).

BUGS
        rizbot, freenode. Apparently, this webpage can be used to find our IRC
        channel. That is bizarre.

HITS
        You are our 000,000,001th visitor!
