Local Chapters Are Here!
🇨🇦 Exciting news from the Linux Association of Canada!
We're thrilled to announce the launch of our Local Chapter Program and to officially welcome our first chapter: Linux User Group Saskatchewan (LUGSASK).
This marks an important milestone in our mission to build a stronger, more connected Linux and open-source community across Canada.
Our goal is simple: bring together Linux users, open-source enthusiasts, developers, students, educators, IT professionals, and technology advocates within their local communities. Whether you're just beginning your Linux journey or have been contributing to open source for years, there's a place for you.
Local chapters will serve as hubs for learning, collaboration, networking, meetups, workshops, advocacy, mentorship, and community-driven projects. Together, we'll strengthen Canada's growing open-source ecosystem while creating meaningful connections from coast to coast.
The establishment of our first chapter in Saskatchewan is only the beginning. We look forward to supporting new chapters in communities across the country and empowering local leaders to help grow the movement.
Interested in starting a chapter in your city, town, or region? We'd love to hear from you.
Together, we're building a stronger future for Linux and open source in Canada—one community at a time.
🍁 By the community, for the community.
Welcome, Linux User Group Saskatchewan — the first official chapter of the Linux Association of Canada! 🎉
