  BRUCE GREY LiNUX USERS GROUP MEET-UP

  1. FREE

  2. Open to the Public

  3. Show up and participate

  The Bruce Grey Linux Users Group (BGLUG) was founded in 2000 to bring local Linux users together and to help newcomers to Linux. The group holds monthly meetings, gives technical presentations, distributes Linux CD-ROMs and hosts a web site, www.bglug.ca, which provides online support. Over the years the user group has evolved into a forum to discuss anything electronic, software, or computer related. We aren't just linux anymore: we do windows.

  Grey Bruce Makers hosts our meetings in Owen Sound on the first Wednesday of every month but our members are scattered around Bruce and Grey counties. The group is freely open to everyone.
