Windsor UNIX Users Group

Information	News
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, in Lambton Tower room 3105 at the University of Windsor.
