The Linux Users' Group of Davis
is a 501(c)(7) non-profit computer club serving the
Sacramento region,
consisting of nearly 450 people who share an
interested in the Linux®
operating system, Free
& Open Source software
and other related topics — both technical and non-technical.
Our goals are to advocate the use of Linux and Open Source,
to educate the community on these software alternatives, and
to support and provide a social network for local
Linux users.
LUGOD holds regular meetings
twice a month.
On the first Tuesday of each month, we hold a social gathering
at a local restaurant or café,
and on the third Monday of each month we meet
at the Davis Public Library to listen to informative
presentations by
guest speakers.
(Day, time and location subject to change!)
We also hold other events and workshops
and maintain a number of active
mailing lists (some with over
200 subscribers) and an IRC channel for
live chatting.
Our meetings, events and membership, are
free and open to the general public. Join us!

LUGOD will once again be participating in the global
Software Freedom Day,
Saturday, September 18th.
We'll be at the Davis Food Co-Op from 4pm-7pm,

A number of LUGOD members will be bringing their Android-based
phones (and perhaps other devices) to next month's
social gathering
(at Crepeville in downtown Davis) for a roundtable discussion
and show-and-tell. If you've got an Android device you'd like
to show off, and/or are interested in learning more about the
platform and some of the devices available, please join us!
(We hope to also have an Android development talk at one of
our regular meetings at some point, too!)
July 27 - Local and LUG calendar updated
We spent a few minutes snooping around
other LUGs and local clubs to
find out what they've got scheduled, and added them to
our calendar of events.
(Did you know that Peninsula
LUG meets tomorrow, or that John Terpstra will be talking
about Samba at SVLUG and
the Open
Science club at UC Davis meets next Wednesday? Plus,
don't forget that you can
subscribe the events as an
iCalendar!)
