Our History

A curated national directory of Canadian open source projects and tools, making it easier for Canadians to discover, share and contribute to open source software.

A comprehensive directory of 400+ Linux distributions launched, helping Canadians find the right Linux distribution for their needs.

LAC connected and listed 19 Linux user groups and community organizations from coast to coast, building the foundation for a truly national open source network.

LAC launched a national program to distribute refurbished computers running Linux to qualifying non-profit organizations and individuals, bridging the digital divide.

A dedicated bilingual job board connecting Canadian employers with Linux and open source talent, the first of its kind in Canada.

Begun working with Perforce Software to explore opportunities for collaboration

We were proud to welcome Rencontres Linux au Québec as newest Usergroup member of the Linux Association of Canada. Their addition strengthens our growing national network and expands our presence within the French-speaking open source community. Together, we continue building a stronger, more connected Linux community from coast to coast.
