Welcome to the MTU LUG Wiki!
Welcome to the MTU LUG wiki. We'd like this to be an amalgamation of information to be used for future students. <strike>Feel free to sign up for an account and then add pages!</strike> Email the lug-l mailing list or message anyone in the chat room to get added: Spambotters were creating too many accounts.
 
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).
* <strong>Meetings are currently on Thursdays from 7-8pm in Rekhi 101. (Updated for Spring 2022)</strong>
 
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).
