Welcome!

WMLUG's goal is to provide a friendly atmosphere to learn about using Linux and open-source software.

We meet the last Thursday of the month at the New Horizons Computer Learning Center in Grand Rapids, MI.  Membership is free.  The meeting starts at 6:00 pm and typically runs for 2 hours.  In addition to group discussions, a presentation is usually given to demonstrate a utility or a "How-To".  Food is provided and donations are welcome to help with the cost.  An is appreciated to help determine the amount of food to get.

I hope to see you there!
