About us
The Bellingham Linux Users Group meets on the third Wednesday of every month at the Bellingham Makerspace to explore topics in Linux, GNU, and free and open source software, often in collaboration with Bellingham Codes, the BTC Raspberry Pi Club, Linux Fest NorthWest and Cascade STEAM.
Each BLUG meetup will be in three parts:
- the first half hour will be arrival and community support. Need help installing some app or flavor of Linux? Make sure to show up early and partake in the wisdom from some of our more experienced members.
- After that, we will have guest sessions. Do you have ideas on what you would like to present or want to present yourself? Let us know!
- After the presentations are done, we will have a general social time to get to know each other and to collaborate on new things.

BLUG Meetup - Open Source Observability
Bellingham Makerspace, 1 Bellis Fair Parkway #618, Bellingham, WA, USJoin us this month on the third Wednesday from 5:30 PM to 7 PM at Bellingham Makerspace as Kevin Burkeland shows off a real-world open source monitoring stack with Prometheus and Loki.
(His description is: Grafana Prometheus and Loki as a observation stack running on alma Linux, kvm as my VM host podman as my container system running on a fedora server, Debian running as my ansible host/brain of the system, a centos VM connected to my VPN (running in aws on an Ubuntu t3.micro) giving me access from anywhere and some ssh port forwarding magic to let me access web uis remotely.)
Also, feel free to come early if you have questions on your own Linux/Homelab setup (the talk itself will start at about 6PM).
