I see.
My sense, from the title of your post and the way it was written, was one of challenge rather than an expression of curiosity.
For my part it's both a personal thing, I like to use it myself (Ubuntu and FreeNAS) at home and to promote it's use at work. As I work for the local authority, the more FOSS there is then the less my taxes are wasted on inappropriate propitiatory software.

I feel that it's an important issue in the open source community. I
just wondered what this LUG's general attitude to it was, whether people
are doing anything to promote the use of open source and try to get
people to convert.
That and I think it's interesting to see how actively committed people
are to the idea of open source and whether it's more of a personal thing
for them or a public thing.
