Help us Build Linux Geeks United

Linux Geeks United, the home of Polar Bears and Penguins, is looking for some people interested in helping all Linux users develop, grow and learn in a Distro neutral and friendly community. We present the "NextStep" idea of learning Linux. Which is basically where do I go to move beyond "noobie'? Lot's of great distro oriented sites often find themselves focusing on providing assistance to users who are new to their Distro and often, new to Linux entirely. Once someone finds themself wanting to learn more about Linux beyond the "noobie" stage, they are many times on their own. There is a plethora of documents and advanced information available, but not always presented in a way to ask questions of someone or share working examples, to see it in action.

Linux Geeks United is a forum dedicated to presenting Linux as more than a collection of distros but as a robust, cohesive OS that offers versatility, stability and adaptability. We strive to avoid the FUD and war-waging that goes on between OS's and distros and focus instead on how we can make the best use of linux and become the best we can be at using it.

We are looking for mods to patrol their favorite distro forum for decent language and to answer questions and provide info about the distro. Mods also provide reviews and posts on any number of other topics.

Admins will be able to take on specialty fields and we rely on them to over see whole categories of topics. Not that we expect them to be "Guru's" or pros, but the willingness to answer questions, research the filed and help with what they can.

Admins also provide new, unique material for our blog/newsletter resource, "Polar Bears and Penguins"

It is a volunteer position and there are some expectations to be active and involved, but this has the potential to be a great site for a lot of Linux users who are moving beyond the "newbie" phase of their Linux experience.

Come on over and help us to build an open, helpful Linux community.
