Naviagation meet
Usual tech meeting at the Navigation 7:30pm (BST! ignore the event module saying it's GMT!) to closing time - no plans for a talk yet so chat and beer will be free-flowing. Warm up for the last LugRadio Live (http://lugradio.org/live/UK2008/start). Free wifi so bring a device!
Upcoming Events
The handy events calendar holds the latest info and of course the mailing list is the place to discuss the details.
You can expect our regular social gatherings and technical talks throughout 2007: -
- Friendly chat, food and drink can be had at our socials. These usually occur every first Wednesday evening of the month and are typically at an inexpensive restaurant or pub in the city centre.
- Our technical talks are usually on every third Thursday evening of the month and are likely to be at our increasingly regular venue, the Navigation Inn. We like to keep the technical talks broad enough to suit the differing abilities of our members, but believe me: you will learn something!
- We like to throw in the odd extra event here and there to suit: e.g. LAN parties and fix-it evenings
We especially welcome new members to the meetings -- you can get help from our regulars (if you need it) or just a friendly group to chat with!
You can get a flavour of the meetings from out the past events pages
About the group
The Nottingham GNU/Linux Users Group ("NLUG") is a focal point for Linux users in and around the Nottingham area providing a forum for exchange of ideas and skills on GNU/Linux-based operating systems.
Membership of the group is free and open: there are no restrictions on who can join. We hold regular informative talks and social meetings - all are welcome! Those who are new to Linux are especially welcome: we hope you will find us to be a friendly and helpful bunch. To join, simply subscribe to the mailing list (we have about 290 subscribers) or just turn up to one of our regular events...
The mailing list can be read using the online archives here. For further details about the mailing list and subscription options go here.
You can also become a registered user of this website by creating an account although this is only necessary if you want to join in with the upkeep of the site.
You can also catch some of us lurking on IRC at #nlug on irc.uk.oftc.net - sometimes quiet, sometimes noisy!

[Talk] Random Tech Talk - OpenSSL, keysigning, media etc.
Thursday 22nd May 2008 (19:30 BST) - Random Tech Talk - ssh, keysigning, Michael's Media Machine, Arduinos?
We're all kinda busy so this month's tech talk is an ad-hoc affair with an open discussion of the recent OpenSSL key vulnerability (http://www.debian.org/security/2008/dsa-1571) and what it means to you. Also, Michael Erskine will be demonstrating his solid-state media machine (even if it's not finished!) and we may have time to chat about our Arduino adventures (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arduino). We always have time for a beer or two (and I believe they even serve tea and coffee!).
The location is, as usual, The Navigation Inn...
