+title: LUG Constitution
+---
+
+## Article 1. Name
+
+This organization shall be referred to as the Linux Users Group at the
+University of California, Los Angeles (LUG@UCLA). The University of  California,
+Los Angeles will hereafter in this document be referred to  as "UCLA," or "the
+University."
+
+## Article 2. Statement of Purpose
+
+Linux is both a powerful, freely-available computer operating system and a
+fascinating sociological event with few parallels, the product of an
+international programmer community that exists independently of any  national
+boundaries.
+
+The LUG@UCLA's purpose is to facilitate learning, creativity, and the
+advancement of computer science. To accomplish this goal, LUG@UCLA  promotes the
+use of the Linux operating system at UCLA by encouraging  its use among
+students, faculty, staff, and University departments; by  providing a support
+network for Linux users; and by building a library  of Linux- related materials.
+
+In attempting to promote the use of Linux, we also encourage  programming under
+this operating system in the form of  student-coordinated projects. LUG@UCLA
+student projects must benefit the UCLA community, the Linux community, or any
+subsets of the two. All  software produced under the auspices of LUG@UCLA shall
+be distributed  under the GNU General Public License, or the GNU Lesser General
+Public  License, as appropriate.
+
+The group will have any number of projects being worked on at a  given time,
+each with its own methods of organization and  responsibility. The sole
+limitation on such projects is that they fall  within the rules and focus of
+LUG@UCLA.
+
+## Article 3. Membership
+
+### Section 1. General Membership
+
+LUG@UCLA grants membership to anyone who asks for it. There shall be no
+membership fee or interviews.
+
+### Section 2. Policy of Non-discrimination
+
+LUG@UCLA, in accordance with applicable Federal and State law and University
+Policy, does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national  origin,
+religion, sex, disability, age, medical condition, ancestry,  marital status,
+citizenship, sexual orientation, or status as a veteran  of the Armed Forces.
+
+LUG@UCLA also prohibits sexual harassment. This  non-discrimination policy
+covers organization membership, access to  organization programs and activities,
+and the general treatment of  members in the organization.
+
+## Article 4. Offices and Elections
+
+LUG@UCLA shall operate on a collaborative style of leadership, employing one
+President, three Vice-Presidents, and one Treasurer. LUG@UCLA shall  elect
+officers once per academic year or as necessary. Only members  currently
+enrolled as UCLA undergraduate and graduate students are  eligible to hold
+office. All members of the group are allowed to vote in elections of the
+LUG@UCLA.
+
+We will use the approval voting system. Voters select which  candidates they
+approve of (they can select multiple), and the candidate with the most approvals
+wins.
+
+Ties will be broken by a game of SuperTuxKart.
+
+### President
+
+This individual is the official liaison to the University, handles all  school
+administrative issues, and is responsible for the group, its  regular LUG or

+authority on patches to the club.
+

+
+> Please give a brief, but detailed summary of your organization. Be sure to
+> include any history of the group, a mission statement and a brief account of the
+> student population that the organization represent.
+
+The Linux Users Group (LUG) facilitates learning and advancement  of computer
+science and free software by promoting the use of the open  source GNU/Linux
+operating system and providing a support network for  Linux users. There is no
+barrier to becoming a member; consequently, the LUG consists of students,
+non-students, inexperienced, and experienced  alike. The LUG has been a group at
+UCLA for over 25 years, during which  time it has helped expose free software to
+many people.
+
+> Please explain the benefit students may derive from your  organization.
+> Include how your group stimulates discussion, benefits  education, or provides
+> enrichment of any kind.
+
+The LUG maintains a Linux computer lab and servers that host  various digital
+services, which people can use to help familiarize  themselves with Linux and
+other standardized technologies. The LUG is a  constant source of Linux
+assistance to anybody that is in need. The LUG  holds talks and presentations
+introducing various topics in computer  science. Sometimes, group members engage
+in conversations surrounding  the politics and economics of Linux.
+
+> Please describe the goals of your organization.
+
+The goals of the LUG at UCLA parallels the goals of the thousands of other LUGs
+around the globe: to provide support and/or education for Linux users, both
+inexperienced and experienced. LUG at UCLA, being a  university LUG, has
+secondary goals that are more student-oriented: to  help with Linux-related
+coursework.
