Welcome to the MTU LUG
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).
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).
Alternatively, anyone currently with an account can make new ones for others by going to [[Special:CreateAccount]].
<strong>As of Fall 2025, meetings are Thursdays 7-8pm in Rekhi 101 (the round room).</strong>
Meeting minutes are available at: [[Meeting Minutes]] (2006-2025+)
Upcoming talks are available at: [[Upcoming Talks]]
== Who we are ==
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.
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.
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!
