What we’re about
Formerly the Silicon Valley Linux User Group (SVLUG), this is the oldest and one of the larger Linux user groups in the world. It's a group of Linux hobbyists, professionals, and enthusiasts in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our members share interests in Linux and free or low-cost implementations of Unix, as well as other open-source software. The group was originally formed in 1988, as the PC-Unix Special Interest Group of the Silicon Valley Computer Society. The group celebrated its 10th anniversary at the March 4, 1998 meeting, where Linus Torvalds addressed an audience of 500 people.
