If you're not convinced by looking at our front page, reading our forum or looking at the sub-communities generated by our members, then you probably want to take a look at all the pictures we take at every event we host, or probably the video from Software Freedom Day 2007.

If this is still not enough, then it's time for you to get away from your PC and join us at our next event or incredibly torrid Chuan'r nights!
