<h2><font color="#FF7722">What is it?</font></h2>
<p>User Groups originated in 1970s as physical places where users of a certain technology met to share their knowledge. With the creation of the GNU/Linux operating system, GLUGs started flourishing in the 90s and later with the spread of internet, many user groups grew up on the internet. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_user_group" target="_blank">More info on GLUGs here.</a></p>
