About LUGSASK
Who we are, what we do, and why we do it.
Linux users, together in Saskatchewan.
The Linux User Group Saskatchewan (LUGSASK) is a volunteer-driven, non-profit community for anyone interested in Linux, open source software, and free technology. We welcome everyone from curious beginners to seasoned systems administrators.
Founded by local enthusiasts who believed that technology knowledge should be shared freely, LUGSASK has been a gathering place for the province's open source community — organizing meetups, workshops, and online discussions for over two decades.
Whether you're running Linux on your laptop, managing servers in the cloud, or just wondering what all the fuss is about — there's a place for you here.
