Hellug promotes and supports Linux through meetings, mailing lists, Greek [http://www2.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/registry.cgi?team=el translations of applications] , FAQs, [http://howto.hellug.gr/howto/pub/html/index-3.html HOWTOs] , technical articles of general interest, creation of [http://graphis.hellug.gr/el/index.html support packages for the Greek language] , integration of Greek language in X Servers, Ancient Greek unicode support, software development, participation in Greek and international exhibitions, information material, shows, developer workshops, internet relay chat online help, publishing of Greek editions of some distributions (SuSE, Fedora), publishing of Linux related articles in magazines and newspapers, creation of a central Linux portal, co-operation with Greek and foreign LUGs, Linux installation in schools, know-how sharing among users/members and whatever comes on the way.

Hellug encourages the founding of topical LUGs in Greece, official or not, and is willing to work with them for the promotion of the Linux operating system.
