LUGOD Projects
The Linux Users' Group of Davis's core is our twice-monthly
meetings.
They're free, open to the public, and are a great place to learn about
Linux, computers in general, and meet and network with similarly-minded
people.
However, that's not all we do.
The Linux User Group of Davis works on a number of 'extracurricular' projects,
many of which
are ongoing. Here's a list:
 |
Events LUGOD Holds |
 | | |
- Meetings
Obviously, there are our general meetings, which we hold twice a month.
Past meeting minutes are available, as
well as a schedule of upcoming meetings
and a list of talks we're arranging.
- Linux Demos
Our LUGOD booth at places like the Farmer's Market, Davis Food Co-Op and
Borders Books and Music are great places to get free Linux-related
items and learn about Linux and LUGOD.
- Installfests
If you want to install or upgrade Linux on your PC and want some high
quality help, these free, monthly, day-long sessions are perfect!
- Lunchix
Entirely social and casual. Members often meet on a Friday afternoon to
talk tech. over lunch.
- Linux Classes
We occasionally hold introductory Linux classes with DCN.

August 2003 was our first "Geek Swap" fundraising swap meet!
- Picn*x - Linux Anniversary
