Columbia-Area Linux Users Group

Welcome!

The Columbia-Area Linux Users Group (CALUG) is a friendly informal group of Columbia-area residents who share an interest in Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) in general, and Linux in particular. The CALUG meets at 7:00PM on the second Wednesday of each month. Like the software that interests us, our meetings are free - and open to everyone.

Tenable Network Security is extending the courtesy of hosting the CALUG's meetings in its East Columbia office, conveniently located at:

7063 Columbia Gateway Drive, Suite 100
Columbia, MD 21046

Enter Tenable's building thru the back at the patio with the blue picnic tables.

Please join the CALUG at our May 14^th meeting for an exciting "Network Intrusion Detection System" demonstration by RenaissanceCore creator Jim Sansing.
