K-LUG - Rochester, MN Area Linux Users Group
Note: To request a wiki account, please join the mailing list and post a message.
We can use presentations for upcoming meetings, please see a list of ideas if you're willing but lacking a topic.
LUG News
We generally meet monthly for technical presentations (2nd Thursday of the month, 6 pm, RCTC), and monthly for socializing (varies). We no longer meet monthly for lunches, if you are interested in reviving this tradition please contact an officer.
Did you used to be on our email list and suddenly haven't gotten email for months? We had a glitch and it caused many people to get unsubscribed; unfortunately Tina doesn't have a way of knowing who all we lost. Please use "Linux mailing list" on the left to get yourself re-added, sorry!
