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, presentations, installfests, and this wiki for Linux users of all backgrounds.

See our about page for more background on us, Linux, and free/open source software.

Just like an open source software project, we develop WPLUG in collaboration with the community: everyone is free to contribute. What does Western PA need out of WPLUG℠? What do you need out of WPLUG? Join our mailing list and tell us!

Past Meetings

Every WPLUG meeting and event is recorded in our past meetings page. You may also view slide presentations from previous meetings. If you're new to WPLUG, this will give you a better idea of what we do.

Getting Involved

Things that WPLUG does which you can participate in.

  • Membership - Join the hottest Linux users group in Western PA!
  • Board Information - List of members on the WPLUG Board of Directors; records of WPLUG board meetings.
  • Committee Information - List of WPLUG committees.
  • Past Activities - Activities which are no longer ongoing. Let us know if you're interested in re-activating any of these.

Online Resources

WPLUG provides a variety of online resources to its members and the community at large. In fact, you're looking at one of them right now: the WPLUG wiki. We provide these resources as a way for our members to help each other, spread the word about Linux and other open source, and socialize.

  • Mailing Lists - The WPLUG mailing lists are a big part of our community; there are several hundred subscribers. We have lists for topics ranging from general announcements to jobs and classified ads.
  • Internet Relay Chat - A chat channel that we operate on the FreeNode IRC network. At times, this can be a very good way to get information.
  • WPLUG members can get an @wplug.org e-mail address, and can also use our RSS aggregator (similar to Feedly, or the now-defunct Google Reader)
  • Twitter - The official WPLUG Twitter account
  • LinkedIn - A professional networking group used by many WPLUG members.
