Who are we?

The Windsor UNIX Users Group is a non-profit organization of UNIX users and enthusiasts based in Windsor, Ontario. We have been active in the Windsor and Essex County area since 1999, with members from a rich variety of backgrounds. Membership is completely open; to join, simply register on this site, subscribe to the mailing list, and attend meetings when you can.

What do we do?

Simply put, we discuss, support, and promote UNIX in the Windsor area. We are, at our core, associated with one another based on a common family of operating systems: the various flavors of UNIX. However, because today's UNIX (particularly GNU/Linux and other free flavors) is tied so closely with and depend so intensely on it, many of our activities and discussions center around free and open-source software in general. See here for an idea of what UUGs/LUGs do.

Meetings

Meetings are on the first Wednesday of each month at 7:00 PM, at the Coffee Exchange (343 Ouellette Ave). We are currently seeking a larger meeting place with a VGA projector for presentations; ideally, it would be free and have seating for at least 20, and wi-fi access would be a definite plus. Let us know if you can arrange something!

Mailing List

The mailing list is open to anyone and can be subscribed to here. It also receives all posts to this forum.

Other Groups

We also have a Facebook group which receives all event notifications, and a LibraryThing group where you can browse other WUUG members' technical libraries.
