The mission of PRLUG is threefold: (1) To provide socializing opportunities for those interested in the Linux operating system. (2) To host public talks and meetings that will help to bring awareness of the Linux operating system. (3) To support classroom-led courses and workshops focusing on the Linux operating system and related open-source technologies.
Our plans for 2019 are the following: (1) We will start recruiting new members right after Christmas, from January 2019. (2) We will schedule Saturday workshops that will focus on Linux installation, basic administration, and use as a desktop system; these workshops will be taught by PRLUG members starting February 2019. (3) We will start scheduling periodic meetings, likely around March 2019. (4) We will plan a business meeting (i.e. members assembly) to be held no later than April 2019.
During the last 15 years there have been repeated calls for local free software enthusiasts to organize, with mixed results. Perhaps we as a people were not yet ready, or the technology still needed to be polished. But the time now is ripe. Linux is now a mature operating system that has been widely adopted on every field of industry. Also, a new generation of Puerto Ricans are now willing to embrace open source technologies, which are best exemplified by the Linux operating system.
We held a successful inaugural meeting on January 18, 2019 in San Juan, Puerto Rico, which was attended by five enthusiastic members. Please join me to grow the Puerto Rico Linux Users Group and bringing awareness of open-source technology. Help me launch a movement that will help establish Puerto Rico as a worldwide leader in information technology.
