Edmonton Unlimited

The Edmonton Linux User Group (ELUG) is a chance to get together with other users of Linux, GNU, and Unix-like operating systems, and open source software. Our members range from newcomers to power users to seasoned administrators and developers; so, all are welcome!

We meet as an opportunity to exchange ideas, knowledge, and experiences for several reasons:

• to educate for personal and professional growth
• to promote and advocate for the free and open source movement
• to support and assist with Linux related challenges
• and to socialize with peers who have a common interest

Meetings are held virtually as well as in person. The meeting description and URL for each month are available on our website at elug.ca.

Examples of topics that may be discussed or presented include (but not limited to):

• Exposure to different distributions
• Workshops on various tools and commands
• Applications, development and tuning
• just about anything else Linux-related

We welcome anyone with an interest in Linux and/or open source software and look forward to building the Linux community in Edmonton.

Standard Agenda:
6:00pm - Arrival, random chitchat
6:30pm - Welcome & introductions, topic discussion begins
7:30pm - Announcements, open discussion
8:00pm - Event conclusion

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Robert Salomons or Manuel Eller or David Laycock at contact@elug.ca.

Who are we?
The YEG JavaScript, Python, and Ruby organizers are teaming up to bring back in-person meetups and talks. We aim to help explore topics in those three languages, but also web, mobile, data science, and machine learning in general.

There is always an opportunity for you to practice public speaking in our welcoming and beginner-friendly environment: DM @aaron.yong on Slack if you're interested/curious!

For more information, join us on the Dev Edmonton Slack at https://devedmonton.com/#about-our-slack, and/or visit https://exchangejs.com.

Once you're on Slack, check out the #meetup-javascript, #meetup-ruby, and #meetup-edmontonpy channels to connect with like-minded folks, ask questions, and discuss your new/favourite topics.
