The Next HOPE conference (volunteer spots available)
Friday Jul 16, 2010
Hosted by Matthew Jording
Free your OS and the rest will follow.
GNU and Linux are two of the most prominent examples of free software development. In the spirit of community-built software, twice a month we get the local community together to discuss topics of free, libre and open source software, the GNU/Linux operating system, ways to engage in the free software movement, and projects we are involved in.
The NYC GNU/Linux meetup is a diverse group. The regulars are both from the free software community, and curious uninitiated. The meetup is a great way to get to know other GNU/Linux users, and professionals, and a nice way to bring local to a largely internet connected community.
What members are saying! (See all group reviews)
“ They should probably decide for themselves. ”
