SATLUG FAQ

(1) What is SATLUG?

A. SATLUG stands for San Antonio Linux Users Group. We are a group of Linux enthusiasts that want to promote the understanding and use of Linux. If you would like to contact someone in person and find out more, contact one of the SATLUG Officers.

(2) How much does it cost? Do I have to come to the meetings? etc…

A. Membership is free! You can lurk on the mailing list and never come to a meeting, or you can post often and go to each and every meeting. You decide. There is no rule or regulation related to this. When the group needs money for something, we pass the hat and it has always worked.

(3) What types of things does SATLUG do?

A. We maintain a mailing list, and an internet server (running Linux of course!). Our server is at https://www.satlug.org.
SATLUG occasionally hosts events such as Linux Installfests. At an installfest, members of SATLUG can help those interested get Linux installed on their computers or help fix any problems they might have. SATLUG is usually represented at local computer shows, where you can come out and meet members and ask them more about Linux and SATLUG. Check out the SATLUG Events page to find out what is on the calendar.
