Welcome to the MTU LUG wiki. Feel free to sign up for an account and then add pagesWiki!<br>
If you're new to wiki, you might want to play around in the [[Sandbox]] for a while.
 
Our hope for this wiki is to be a source of information related to Michigan Tech, the Upper Peninsula, and Linux, to be used by current and prospective students at MTU (and anyone else who finds it useful).
* '''We meet every Thursday in Room 131 of Fisher Hall at 7:00pm'''
* Go to https://lists.mtu.edu/sympa/subscribe/lug-l to subscribe to our mailing list (You don't have to be an MTU student to subscribe). It's (normally) a low-traffic list, mostly announcements about meeting schedule changes and events
 
If you'd like to edit the wiki, please email the LUG mailing list ([mailto:lug-l@mtu.edu lug-l@mtu.edu]) or shoot us a message in LUG's [https://discord.gg/5mZUgcNWAK Discord] or [ircs://lug.mtu.edu:6697 IRC] and we'll happily make you an account (spambotters were griefing pages).

Each week, after the business part of the meeting,
The Linux Users Group is a student organization at Michigan Tech that was established in 2001 to further students' knowledge of Linux/UNIX based operating systems and discuss technological advancements in Operating Systems.
we try to have a [[Lead discussions|discussion]]

Each week, we gather to discuss current news about tech and open-source software, after which a member will give a presentation about a technical topic (typically pertaining to Linux, FOSS, or computer protocols) that's different each week.
== Current Pages of Interest ==
 
Whether you're a GNU Wizard running a custom distro on your laptop or a total Linux beginner who hasn't ever touched a shell, our mission is to provide an environment for anyone to learn more about using Linux on their gadgets and gizmos!
