| 2 | +# What is LUG? |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +It is a group of people with the skills, potential and the determination to be the best at what they do. It is a community built to learn, grow, progress and achieve your maximum potential. |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +#### Why LUG? |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +#### Be a part of *The Elite* |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +We bring together the best minds to achieve the best they can. |
| 11 | +Be the one who push the limits of their field. |
| 12 | +Every one of the members become the best of the best. |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +#### Learn from *The Best* |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +Want to pick up a skill and work on it? Someone in the club will probably already know it. |
| 17 | +Reach out and ask for their guidance. With a helpful and tight-knit community, you most certainly will get the help you seek. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +With regular internal workshops and resources shared, there is plenty to learn and many fields to explore. Got a skill you want to showcase and teach, take the stage and share! |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +#### Find your team |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +Have a senior who you really want to work with or some members you want to participate in events with? Make your team and pick a guide from your seniors to help you at events. |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +Form your own hackathon and CTF teams from within the club, collaborate and compete in external competitions. |
| 26 | +Get to collaborate and learn with seniors while attending events! We mix and match teams so you can find your perfect teammates. |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +#### Learn from first principles |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +Want to re-invent the wheel with good reason? Go ahead! We're not afraid to challenge the underlying, and are not afraid to question abstraction. |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +Want us to prove it? |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +- We built our own [CTF platform](https://github.com/lugvitc/pwncore) while so many great platforms exist out there. |
| 35 | +- We host our own [hub](https://hub.lugvitc.net), [git](https://git.lugvitc.net), [meet platform](https://meet.lugvitc.net), [cloud collaboration platform](https://cloud.lugvitc.net), and [forum](https://forum.lugvitc.net) while others use Microsoft Teams and Google Meet to simplify their work. We don't mind learning a thing or two trying things our way. |
| 36 | +- We're one of the very few teams to conduct dynamic CTF challenges. Just because others don't do it doesn't stop us from trying. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +If this suits your vibe we might be made for each other after all! |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +#### Follow best practices |

| 47 | +#### And sometimes learn from hacky fixes |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +Nothing teaches you what NOT to do than that last minute code change that your peer insta-approved. |
| 50 | +You're provided with the breathing room to goof around and find out. |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +#### ~~Take initiative~~ |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +~~Have an idea for a project but need help making it a reality? Pitch it in the club and bring it into the world. Bored of the same old hackathons and ctfs and want to do something cool for a change? You have the team and the support you might need. Looking for a team for a competition but don't know people who know how to build? You got the people who will help you out.~~ |

| 56 | +#### And if not all this, then... |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +Why not just shoot your shot? You miss 100% of the shots you don't take 😉 |

| 60 | +# FAQs |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +#### Full form of LUG? |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +Linux Users Group |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +#### Is LUG only for Linux users? |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +Although it has Linux in the name, LUG doesn't strictly stand for Linux. Linux is just a common software that beautifully defines us: |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +- It's free and open-source |
| 71 | +- It teaches you a lot about tech as a whole |
| 72 | +- Lets you re-invent the wheel (sometimes for good reasons, other times, not really 😅) |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +#### What if I'm not a Linux user? |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +No issues! As long as you're keen to learn, grow, and contribute, it doesn't matter what operating system you use. |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +But trust me, no one has survived the Linux flu 😏 |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +#### Can I join if I'm not from VIT Chennai? |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +Unfortunately we cannot accept members outside of VIT Chennai. |
| 83 | +You can still participate in our events and workshops without having to be from VIT Chennai 😄 |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +#### Which other technical clubs should I join in VIT Chennai? |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +IEEE Computer Society is pretty dank 👀 |
