The Linux Users' Group of Davis is a 501(c)(7) non-profit computer club serving the Sacramento region, consisting of hundreds of 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), an IRC channel for live chatting, and communities on social networks (Facebook and LinkedIn). Our meetings, events and membership, are free and open to the general public. Join us!

Recent LUGOD News   Special Election Success Posted Fri. July 20, 3:00pm Congratulations to Ted Sternberg, speaker at our general meeting--and now LUGOD's new Typescript (secretary) officer. Thanks a lot for volunteering your time, Ted. Listserv Issues Posted Fri. July 13, 6:00pm Apologies to members who are subscribed to our mailing lists, including vox and vox-announce, if you receive either no emails or duplicate email from the lists. Our listserv IP address was apparently banned by Microsoft/Office 365 sometime in the past month, resulting in a ton of list emails bouncing to all our members whose email services are MS-based. This includes all @ucdavis.edu, @outlook.com, and many others. An application to de-list our IP has been made. Nominations For Secretary Are Open Posted Thu. June 21, 5:00pm Our long-time Typescript officer (club secretary) Kenny has announced that he will be stepping down in July, so nominations for the position are officially open. You may nominate yourself or someone else and no second is required! If you are interested or would like to know more, contact typescript@lugod.org (or any other club officer) with your questions or your nomination. Thanks again for all that you've done for us, Kenny, and congratulations on completing your education.
