Sponsors
Many companies have helped out LRUG and it's members in some way. Here we list them and say thanks.
Some of these companies even offer us discount codes for services or events. For example, most of the publisher user group programs involve a discount code for their webstore. Generally speaking we'll give out these codes when we find out about them during one of our meetings or via the mailing list.
Meeting Administration
Skills Matter
Skills Matter have been the kind providers of the venue for LRUG since 2006. As organisers of several conferences and training sessions they've also been kind enough to supply us with various discounts, and even free tickets, for these events on occasion.
Big.First.Name
At most LRUG meetings we all sport name badge stickers made using Big.First.Name. The application is written by Jason Lee a long-time LRUG member.
