The main objective of LKLUG is to promote GNU/Linux and Free & Open Source Software in Sri Lanka. It was started during the Linux for Educational and Commercial Environments workshop conducted by LEARN in July 1998, with 40 members and 5 advisors. We handle Linux installations and lend distribution kits. The Linux mini library contains Linux Journals, Linux HOWTOs, LaTeX documents, CDs and many other Linux books. The users interchange their experiences through the mailing lists.

We also organize installation workshops as well as seminars related to Free and Open Source Software.
