Clear message

We are a group of enthusiastic Linux users in the state of Kentucky (Commonwealth really). We were formed originally around https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-us-ky/2007-January/000003.html. Around a year after we started we remade ourselves as a more general LUG but kept up with all things Ubuntu. On [January 14th 2008|http://groups.google.com/group/bglug/browse_thread/thread/0f99a1a77b8c3493]] the BGLUG was formed.

Key Details

Roadmap

  • KLF - Inspired by the awesome OLF (Ohio Linux Fest) we have been discussing the possibility of hosting a KLF (Kentucky Linux Fest). This is a huge effort and something that will take time to come to fruition.

  • Member Reviews - Encouraging members to submit reviews (books, software, hardware) to the site in order to drive traffic and attract new members.

  • Survey - We are actively working to better understand the needs of the members of our team.

    • We have started with a simple survey to discover if our current meeting times work for the majority of the group.
    • We are taking polls to get a feel for what kinds of topics our member are interested in discussing at our regular meetings.

Experience

  • Release Parties

    • We have been hosting release parties for Ubuntu since Feisty was released.
    • We have hosted release parties for Fedora since Constantine was released.

  • Install Fest - To date we have held three install fests.

  • Regular Meetings - Our team holds regular IRC and IRL meetings

    • IRC - The first Tuesday of each month at 9:00PM EST in #bglug on irc.freenode.net. We are currently discussing moving to having two meetings per month on the first and third Tuesday.

      • See here and here for information about past IRC meetings

    • IRL - The third Saturday of each month from 2:30PM - 4:30PM EST

* Grid Computing - Using our spare cpu cycles to help fight cancer and cure other world problems
