Monthly Meetings

The Saint Louis MO, STL Linux Users Group (STLLUG) meets monthly to learn and talk about Linux. This GNU/Linux Users Group usually holds its meetings on the third Thursday of every month. Some months on fourth Thursday. Meetings are free, public and open to all.

We start gathering by 6:00PM and at 6:30PM we start with introductions, announcements, current events of interest, and a general CALL FOR HELP segment. Then we will go into the presentation of our main topic, sometime around or after 6:45PM.
