The Columbia-Area Linux Users Group (CALUG) is a friendly informal group of Columbia-area residents who share an interest in Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) in general, and Linux in particular. The CALUG meets at 7:00PM on the second Wednesday of each month. Like the software that interests us, our meetings are free - and open to everyone.
Tenable Network Security is extending the courtesy of hosting the CALUG's meetings in its East Columbia office, conveniently located at:
7063 Columbia Gateway Drive, Suite 100
Columbia, MD 21046
Enter Tenable's building thru the back at the patio with the blue picnic tables.
Please join the CALUG at our February 10th meeting for one (and possibly two) exciting presentations. Jonathan Riddell will begin with a "Kubuntu Community and Technology" presentation. Jonathan will discuss the Kubuntu Linux distribution, who maintains it, and the tools used to produce the distro.
Jonathan works for Canonical. He started the Kubuntu project five years ago.
Justin Kirby will tentatively follow Jonathan with a "Making the Leap from KDE User to Contributor" presentation. Justin will discuss simple ways for KDE users to become contributors, even without knowing a thing about developing code. He will provide specific details about various teams that exist within KDE, what you can do to help them out, and who to talk to if you have questions.
Justin Kirby is an active contributor to the KDE Promo team. He has been a user of KDE for about 3 years but more recently got actively involved in giving back to the community in July 2009.
February meeting attendees are invited to arrive at 6:30PM to enjoy pizza, wings, and soda courtesy of Praxis Engineering prior to the 7:00PM presentation.
