MadLUG came into being in

MadLUG came into being in September of 1998. JVLnet in Janesville kindly hosted our website. After our first president, Adam Cody, left Madison, we reorganized in the summer and fall of 1999, at which point we obtained the madisonlinux.org domain name, and transferred the web and mailing list hosting. During this time we had a number of projects going on, including a community outreach project and a presentation at a local computer expo. In January of 2000 we adopted a set of bylaws. Since that time we have had a number of technically-oriented presentations, but the majority of our meetings have been social, coffeehouse meetings at the Lakefront Cafe (UW Memorial Union) in Madison. However, starting in 2009, our social meetings now rotate between locations. Stay tuned to the mailing list for each exciting monthly location!
