Welcome to the University of South Carolina Linux Users Group (LUG)!

The University of South Carolina Linux Users Group (LUG) welcomes faculty, staff, students, and anyone affiliated with the university who is interested in Linux and Open Source to join our new LUG. We are in the early stages of organizing and are looking forward to bringing together a diverse community of various experience levels. So what do you need to know right now?

We have created a MS Team to use as a primary form of communication and to send out important information as we begin our journey. We invite you to simply join the MS Team with your university provided O365 account by using the following join code and the instructions provided. If you have any trouble joining the Team or have questions feel free to email our organizers at CODOIT-USC-LinuxUsersGroup@mailbox.sc.edu.
