WHLUG — Wuhan Linux User Group
Originally at whlug.clinux.org
WHLUG (武汉 Linux 联盟 / Wuhan Linux User Group) was the regional Linux user group for Wuhan, China. The group's site lived at whlug.clinux.org and was the canonical entry point in Debian's Chinese-project-related-links directory and on similar resource lists.
What it was
WHLUG operated as the Wuhan-based hub for Linux meetups, install-fests, and translation work for Chinese-language Linux documentation. The group hosted a working website, organised in-person events at universities in Wuhan, and contributed translations to GNU and adjacent free-software projects.
GNU philosophy translations
The /gnu/philosophy/ section of whlug.clinux.org carried unofficial Chinese translations of GNU philosophy essays — the writings on free software, copyleft, and the GNU Project's principles. Those translations were referenced from the official GNU translation index pages (in Portuguese, Turkish, and other languages) as the recognised Chinese version for many years.
Where the work lives now
The Linux user group landscape in China consolidated through the 2010s, with most active groups operating through WeChat groups, GitHub organisations, and Discord servers rather than dedicated websites. Wuhan-area free-software meetups continue under various community organisations.
