Special Interest Groups

Various Special Interest Groups (SIGs) exist for members to meet and collaborate.  SIGs typically meet each month directly following the primary user group presentation/meeting.  For information on current activities, you may contact the SIG leader listed or visit the links below.

Linux SIG

SIG Leader:  Jeff Rush; 972-238-7372

The DFWUUG Linux SIG promotes the use of Linux and Open Source solutions to solve business problems as well as a forum for individuals and companies to discuss relevant topics related to Linux and Open Source.

We meet in the main meeting room following the regular meeting and typically have between 30-50 attendees.  Presentations generally include a hands-on demonstration of topics ranging from Embedded Linux to Databases and LDAP.

The meeting format is generally informal and questions are encouraged. Typical attendees are newbies to subject matter experts.

Please contact Jeff Rush if you would like to schedule a presentation.

Linux Development SIG

SIG Leader:  Daniel Jackson

Security SIG

SIG Leader:  Gary Smith; 817-245-6052

Gary Smith of Motorola has stepped up to the plate and will be leading the Security SIG since the past two leaders have moved out of town. Gary has been a frequent contributor to the group and also writes the Security articles in the Monthly DFWUUG Newsletter. May´s topic was a post-mortem discussion of the featured speaker's talk on Pitbull. In addition, since this was the kick-off meeting, we met to discuss upcoming topics and presentations.  There will be an announcement at the main meeting about the SIG meeting location. Stay tuned for more information.
