This mailing list is alive, but not very active. Occasionally
someone announces a meeting considered relevant to Linux users;
sometimes asks a question. Often there's a short flurry of
messages in response. People do read it.

This is a good place to ask questions like, Where in Montreal can I
buy a machine that will actually run Linux and not be locked
down to Windows or Android or something.

A few years ago this group actually organised meetings, but lately no
one has been doing that.

-- hendrik

[Bevins, Bob]

I used to hang out with mlug in the nineties with Jimmy and the gang but life got in the way.

I run a shop with Linux running my large CNC machines and was in the mood for a presentation, but from the looks of it, it has been a while since mlug has been doing that.

Because no one wants to bother organizing it. When meetings are held
people do show up. There are a bunch of people reading this list. All
MLUG needs is one person willing to organize some stuff and it would
come back to life.

I run the website (such as it is) and would be happy to give admin
rights to someone if they would do something with it.

[Bevins, Bob]

Back in the early 2000's I think it was with the Nick's and Jared and Jimmy and the whole gang back then, we use to have regular meetings.
I would love to see it come back alive, and I am willing to help in as much as I can.

I would be willing to setup a meeting at my shop and do a presentation on Linux, LinuxCNC and just Linux in general talking to external hardware components. I can do machine presentations running linux and I am in the process of retrofitting a Huge machine now so you would get to see and interact with the internals of it all.

I don’t know if there would be interest in such a meeting but I am willing to do this. Only issue is my shop is in the Repentigny area. Actually it is in L'Assomption which is just east of Repentigny.

Is something that might spark some interest of the users?

Not French exclusively, anyone can show up and present there.

Perhaps no MLUG - "branded" meetups are organized but there are LOTS of
opportunities to meet and share with other people what you're doing.

There is the Montreal Linux Meetup happening every month. I try to go as

Yes it is alive although I have lurker status rather than heavy contributor. There are so many sources for how to info on Linux both textual an video that I guess that is the first source people go to.

Asking question to your "neighbours" does not have a big advantage over asking the rest of the internet when you are unlikely ever to meet.

I remember a meeting at Vanier College, where someone there gave me a copy of knoppix live cd in the days of transition from dialup Broad band. I did not have access to big download at that time and I appreciated it.

All the places where you used to go to find info in the physical world and bump into people who where interested in the same thing, have vanished.

A not insignificant part of a century ago I spent my spare and some work time at l'octet, computer land, compucenter and the computer store on Phillips square.
Taught my self unix on a Fortune 16:32 (???) in the store while customers looked on. I get the owners didn't mind as I was effectively doing a free demo.

So back to the question is this list dead. No but it needs to find a purpose to be anything but a occasional "local" question resource.
