This article is part of our Linux Around The World series showcasing usergroups that are relevant to Linux enthusiasts. Great ways to meet up with fellow enthusiasts.
If you decide to report on Washington State, Olympia Microcomputer Users Group (OMUG) has a monthly SIG, the “Linux and Raspberry Pi SIG.” Meetings are sometimes hybrid (live and also online) and sometimes just online using the Jitsi platform.
Erik has previously published an article for Washington.
It appears OMUG is not active from their website. Is there evidence of activity?
Haha, you are right about our website, but activity continues. The main computer club meets monthly as a hybrid live/online meeting, and the Linux SIG meets monthly as hybrid every other month and online only for the other months. The link for “questions about OMUG” will get you details. I will make a concerted effort to help update the web page, we got way behind… And I missed the WA article, thanks for the link.
Thanks, we’ve added a link to OMUG on our Washington article.
