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!

6 pm, in or near RCTC Heintz Center's HA107.
Anything else you want to see on the agenda? Let Tina know.
"March" Social: April 2017, TBD
We will be going to the newly opened D6 Games, to support a new game store in town! Bring cash for buying snacks for our table rent.
Advertised here. 10 am-10 pm, 7 days a week, when would you like to socialize? We should avoid their scheduled nights, and pick something less popular so we support them rather than crash them.
Based on recommendations received so far, we'll be picking something other than a Wednesday or Friday night. And due to tax season, it's likely going to be pushed to just past April 15th.
CITO Social: Wednesday April 26th
Our annual clean up a corner of the world event, helping de-litter a local park as a part of Litter Bit Better. As usual we're teaming up with the geocachers who get CITO credit.
Parking is here or here, in the SE or SW corners of the park. The official group gathering location is on the SE corner of the park.
6 pm start time.
Bags and trash are provided, you need to provide your own gloves and a sense of civic duty. If anyone has some waterproof boots for cleaning the marshy stream edge, that'd be great too.
"Technical Meeting": Thursday May 11, 2017
We're going to a free physics show at the Civic Center auditorium
7 pm, plan to show up early so we can try to sit together.
