The Spokane Linux User's Group has been meeting for over 10 years, discussing technology, Linux troubles, and advice.

All are welcome to join us for festive Linux discussion over food and beer at Shari's Restaurant, from the grizzled Unix long-beard to the timid newbie. There are no dues or registration - just drop by!

Meetings are held the third Wednesday of each month, at 7:00 PM. They generally run 1½ to 2 hours long.

The next meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 19th, 2013 at 7:00 PM.

Find us at Shari's Restaurant, in the Spokane Valley, on N. Sullivan just south of Valleyway.
