Berkeley Unix User Group

Berkeley Unix User Group
🇺🇦
Open to the public, students and non-students, newbies and oldbies, hackers
and wizards, all ages welcome!
Totally free (no fees or other expenses).
BUUG (Berkeley Unix User Group) is a friendly support
network for residents of Berkeley, CA and surrounding
areas, who want to learn and discuss Linux, BSD, Solaris,
or other Unix-type systems. Specially geared to network
the various *nix groups out there, and for those who
attend structured meetings that would enjoy informal gatherings
where like minds congregate.
Meetings
EFFECTIVE 2020-03-17 NO IN-PERSON MEETINGS (COVID-19) UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE
Note that BUUG
may
do or do some virtual meetings in the
meantime - check here (or on our list - see further below) for the
latest on that. Also, in the meantime, many (e.g. Linux) Open Source
and related user groups, including also quite locally, have switched to
virtual meetings. For more information on that, have a look at:
BALUG's wiki page on COVID-19
(which includes much information on
virtual meetings
for many relevant user groups).
In any case, BUUG still has a
schedule
for meetings, even if may not presently be meeting.
BUUG meets on the 1st and
3rd Thursday of the month. Meetings are from 7-9pm.
See schedule below to confirm meeting
places and times. At our physical meetings, we can be seen wih a
large "BUUG" placard.
Our meetings are informal get togethers. There is no agenda,
there are no designated speakers, and there are no topics off
limits. You are welcome to bring your questions/problems to
ask the group; technology demonstrations are always enjoyed.

is open to everyone, regardless of where they live or even whether or not
they can attend the meetings.
