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 September 8^th meeting. Persons willing to present a FOSS technology of their interest are especially welcome. Otherwise, the meeting will be open-discussion.

Meeting attendees are invited to arrive at 6:30PM to enjoy pizza and soda courtesy of Praxis Engineering prior to the 7:00PM presentation.
