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!



Technical Meeting: March 8th, 2018

Cancelled due to no speaker. The PCIG elections will happen at the April meeting, beware!  ;)

Volunteers or request for an April+ speaker, or the March+ social, would be appreciated. Please email Tina.


Social: Monday March 12th

Early PI day, with pie at Baker's Square (the one by Apache Mall). 7 pm so you can have a healthy dinner at home first, for health and cost reasons (of course, if you wanted to go to Baker's Square and want to use this for an excuse, you're welcome to blame me).


Technical Meeting: Thursday April 12th

Speaker needed.

Also, PCIG officer elections.


6 pm, in or near RCTC Heintz Center's HA108.

Upcoming Meeting Crisis!

We need some meeting topics (& speakers) for 2018. We'd like to know what you want to see and hear about. Please email Tina with suggestions for topics. Should we run some previous sessions again (maybe something you really wanted to see but missed out on)? What type of topics are good, what type are bad? Also see this page for a list of suggested topics http://www.k-lug.org/Meetings
