WPLUG will hold a general user meeting on Saturday, January 11, 2014 at the Wilkins School Community Center in Swissvale, PA. You don't need to be a member of WPLUG to come to our meetings, and there is no cost to attend.
After our "business meeting," which typically doesn't take more than half an hour, we'll open the floor to presentations, discussions, and generally just hanging out. If you're interested in having fun with other Linux and open source enthusiasts in the area, we invite you to stop by!
