Bloomington Linux Users Group

From BLUG

Jump to: navigation, search

The Bloomington Linux Users Group (BLUG) is a group dedicated to meeting and discussing Linux in the community of Bloomington, Indiana. We currently meet every other month in the Monroe County Public Library, and meet informally at a local restaurant each in-between month. Whether you are currently using Linux or interested in learning more about it or installing it, you are encouraged to come to our meetings, they are open to everyone who is interested in Linux.

Meetings

Our meetings are traditionally held on the 2nd Tuesday of every other month in conference room 1A of the Monroe County Public Library (MCPL), although we occasionally have them on other days due to schedule conflicts. Meetings start at 7pm.

On the "off month" when we're not at the Library, we generally meet at a locally-owned restaurant for informal discussion and low-key fun.

You should subscribe to the BLUG mailing list to make sure you receive the latest meeting announcements as they are released.
