Madison Linux User Group

douglasawh's picture
MadLUG is the Madison area Linux Users Group. Our users come from a variety of backgrounds. Some are academics and students; others are system administrators, web designers and other IT professionals; and others simply enjoy computers.

We hold social meetings the third Saturday of each month to discuss Linux and related topics with a rotating location (see mailing list for details).

We also put together demonstrations and presentations related to the installation and running of Linux in addition to more advanced topics, such as networking, programming, and databases the first Saturday of every month (we do not yet have a set location for these. If you'd like to provide one, let me know!).

We also actively hang out at the monthly Web608 Geek Dinners.

Wifi, local beer and other fun stuff at the Downtown Dane

Monthly MadLUG social meeting.  Not much to say about it.  Come get some food and enjoy free wifi...assuming they don't put us in a dead zone like the Hilldale one.  Please let Doug know on the list or privately if you will attend so proper reservations can be made.

Come talk about Linux or whatever else floats your boat.  As always, we are up for suggestions for the February social meeting.

Google and Linux

Abraham Williams (4braham) will be giving a presentation on all things Google and Linux.  While the details are currently in secret (our Google overlords probably know them) expect to hear about massive data centers, Chrome OS, Android and plenty of other nifty ways in which Google uses Linux for fun and for profit.

Note that we are still looking for space for this event.  We do have a backup location, so this *will* happen, but official word on a location will probably not be posted until the week of Christmas.  As always, if you have questions, see Doug.
