The Twin Cities Linux User Groups are back! After almost 2 years, we’re set to have our first meeting (except for last summer’s installfest). Two volunteers and myself have been meeting to brainstorm topics, meeting flow, and trying to find a location.

If you live in Minnesota, and you’re new to Linux and want to learn more, or an old hand at Linux and want to meet some like-minded people, come join us, everyone is welcome! There’s a Google calendar link in there as well, so you can indicate if you want to come.

Here’s the announcement I sent to the mailing list this morning:

Mark your calendars! The Twin Cities Linux User Group is pleased to

announce two upcoming meetings.
