Libre Las Vegas: GNU/Linux Free Software Users Group
Whether you're running GNU/Linux as your desktop operating system or interested in doing so, this Meetup is for you. Our goal is to create an environment that's welcoming, fun, and educational.
A paradox...
The argument for open source ("free" as in speech) software is stronger than ever.
GNU/Linux has been wildly successful in the server market.
Desktop GNU/Linux operating systems like Ubuntu provide a rich end-user experience on par or better than commercial rivals in many respects.
...Yet the uptake of using GNU/Linux as an end-user (desktop/laptop) operating system still lags. This Meetup aims to end that by:
1. Creating a community of GNU/Linux on the desktop enthusiasts.
2. Providing a venue where GNU/Linux questions can get asked by users of all levels.
3. Fostering GNU/Linux on the desktop evangelism. Let's spread the word!
We welcome long time GNU/Linux enthusiasts, those who've heard of GNU/Linux but aren't even sure what it is, and everyone in between. Join us!
