Hi!<br>
<br>
We're starting a new Linux Users Group: BCLUG.ca.<br>
<br>
It's primarily for two groups of people:<br>
<br>
1) people living in BC, and<br>
2) people not living in BC.<br>
<br>
An interest in Linux and free / open source software is
recommended but not required.<br>
<br>
<br>
We're aiming to provide (virtual) meetings with presentations and
Q&As so members can interact socially, network professionally,
build their skills, share their knowledge, and have fun.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Our web site is <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bclug.ca">https://bclug.ca</a> where details are available on
how to join our:<br>
<br>
* mailing lists:<br>
-- <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:announce-join@lists.bclug.ca">announce-join@lists.bclug.ca</a><br>
-- <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:discuss-join@lists.bclug.ca">discuss-join@lists.bclug.ca</a><br>
<br>
* XMPP / Jabber chat channel:<br>
-- <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:xmpp:chat@conference.bclug.ca?join">xmpp:chat@conference.bclug.ca?join</a><br>
<br>
<br>
If you're interested in a JID (jabber id / account), ask via our
mailing list, we can set something up.<br>
<br>
<br>
We're looking for ideas on presentations and activities - would
welcome input.<br>
<br>
BCLUG will be informal with no membership fees and little
hierarchy structure.<br>
<br>
If people are interested, we'd like to begin with meetings this
month. Anyone with presentation ideas are invited to raise them on
the <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:discuss@lists.bclug.ca">discuss@lists.bclug.ca</a> mailing list. Eventual goal is to have
in-person meetings with a live feed for those that can't attend.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks, hope to hear from you!<br>
<br>
