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!

We're going to hang out at the Machine Shed, thanks go to Mark D for the idea. Here is some recent advertising from the local newspapers. If you're interested, please suggest a day/date/time.
From their Facebook page, it looks like costs are:
$10 ages 13+
$5 ages 8-12
7 and under are free with paid adult
The Machine Shed website.
They're open from 4-8 pm, and the cost is flat per session, so if you feel like arriving early for longer gaming that's certainly fine. They also sell snacks, drinks, and pizza, so you can come straight after work.
They are located at 11 2nd St NE, Rochester, MN 55906 in the east portion of the Wausau Homes building (look for the two large garage doors and the entry door).
Note that the signage is almost non-existent, they have a plain text-only sign on the appropriate door, but no big sign on the building. The parking lot there IS for customers, or you can park on the street. I won't be attending, you'll have to gather around someone else.
Technical Meeting: February 9th, 2017
Speaker needed, please let Tina know if you're willing to volunteer. Willing to present but want to know what people have expressed interest in? Check out our requested topics page.

If nothing is requested, I will default to WinterFest sleigh rides at the History Center. Saturday February 4th, we'll need to pick a time 10-4.

Upcoming Meeting Crisis!
