The Linux Users' Group of Davis
is a 501(c)(7) non-profit computer club serving the Sacramento region,
consisting of nearly 450 people who share an
interested in the Linux®
operating system, Free
& Open Source software
and other related topics — both technical and non-technical.
Our goals are to advocate the use of Linux and Open Source,
to educate the community on these software alternatives, and
to support and provide a social network for local
Linux users.
LUGOD holds regular meetings
twice a month.
On the first Tuesday of each month, we hold a social gathering
at a local restaurant or café,
and on the third Monday of each month we meet
at the Davis Public Library to listen to informative
presentations by
guest speakers.
(Day, time and location subject to change!)
We also hold other events and workshops
and maintain a number of active
mailing lists (some with over
200 subscribers) and an IRC channel for
live chatting.
Our meetings, events and membership, are
free and open to the general public. Join us!
