Welcome to the Western Pennsylvania Linux Users Group. We are a not-for-profit organization based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania that provides collaboration resources, including mailing lists, monthly presentations and quarterly installfests, for Linux users of all backgrounds.

See our about page for more background on us, Linux, and other Free and Open Source software. If you are looking for something in Northwestern PA, please check our sister LUG, ErieLUG.

We're working hard at developing our organization. If you think you can help, we'd appreciate any ideas you have. We'd like to hear your thoughts: What does Western PA need out of WPLUG? What do you need out of WPLUG? Join the list and tell us!

We provide these resources as a way for our members to help each other, spread the word about Linux and other open source, and generally just socialize.

  • Mailing Lists - The WPLUG mailing lists are a big part of our community. We have specific lists for many different issues, ranging from general announcements, to jobs, to people trying to sell stuff in our marketplace.
  • Membership - Become a member of the hottest Linux Users Group in Western PA.
  • Internet Relay Chat - This is a realtime chat facility that we operate on the FreeNode IRC network. At times this can be a very good way to get information.
  • Certification Study Group - A self-study group is forming for participants to assist each other in obtaining Linux certification.
  • The Open Pitt - The official newsletter of WPLUG.
