BLUG Meetup - What’s new in Open Source?
Details
Join us this month on the third Wednesday from 5:30 PM to 7 PM at Bellingham Makerspace for a discussion about what’s new in open source.
This month, our topic is a low-key discussion on the state of open source and what it means in 2026, especially as AI makes it easy for “anyone” to build just about “anything” and several open source projects have taken strong stances against AI.
Also, feel free to come early if you have questions on your own Linux/Homelab setup (the show-and-tell itself will start at about 6PM).
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 see presented 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.
