Who we are

TALUG is a collection of computer enthusiasts from the Toledo, OH area which include hobbyists to IT professionals interested in GNU/Linux. No knowledge of GNU/Linux is presumed or required, although most of the members have some GNU/Linux or Unix experience. TALUG membership is open to anyone. We are located in the heart of Toledo, allowing us to serve all of northwestern Ohio. And, since we are only 45 minutes from Detroit and Ann Arbor, it is convenient for GNU/Linux users in Michigan to drop in.

Why form a user group

TALUG was organized so that Linux users can get together (either through meetings or via the Internet) and discuss the latest developments with this rapidly growing operating system.

How to join the group

Please refer to Article III of our Constitution.
