BLUG was started in 1998 by a small group of computer geeks in Bellingham, Washington who wanted to get off Windows and learn from local Unix gurus. Our focus is on Linux and all Open Source software.
We hold a presentation meeting the first Thursday of the month at Bellingham Technical College in Campus Center room 201 (CC201). On the third Wednesday, we hold an informal organization meeting with the time and location being Bellingham Makerspace (located in the Bellisfair Mall, next to Dicks Sporting Goods). We also put on special events including the regional LinuxFest Northwest in the Spring.

Join us Wednesday, June 18th, from 5:30 PM -7 PM at Bellingham Makerspace as we explore Cybersecurity with community organizers from BLUG, Bellingham Codes, the BTC Raspberry Pi Club, and Cascade STEAM! Josh Bukder will demonstrate several devices and tools used to test security and increase awareness of sensitive areas in our environments. Bring your questions and ideas!
Each BLUG meetup will be in three parts: the first half hour will be arrival and community support. Need help installing some app or flavor of Linux? Make sure to show up early and partake in the wisdom from some of our more experienced members. After that, we will have guest sessions. Do you have ideas on what you would like to present or want to present yourself? Let us know! After the presentations are done, we will have a general social time to get to know each other and to collaborate on new things.
