• Several chapters of the group meet for social and educational purposes (see the schedule below). At the meetings, there is usually a demonstration of a program of interest and almost always an opportunity to ask questions.
• Representatives of the group can be found at local computer conferences or other meetings giving presentations, offering insights or advocating for Linux or FOSS.
• There is an active mailing list where you can seek support for problems or ask questions. There are also several very-low-traffic mailing lists for meeting announcements.
• We are also active in educating and advocating for FOSS in our state businesses, governments and school systems.

• Meetings typically start at 7 PM and networking before and after the meeting is encouraged. While these are the usual meeting times and places, checking the calendar and being on the mailing list ensures proper place, time and agenda, and often helps with issues such as snow cancellations.
• The Merrimack Valley LUG usually gets together for dinner at Martha's before the meeting, around 6 PM. Dress casual, entrees are $5 - $15, the beer is excellent.

• We share a common interest in Linux and Free/Open Source Software (FOSS). Our range of skills, experience and interest is diverse. We are hobbyists, amateurs, professionals, system administrators, developers, lawyers, students, world-renowned experts and beginners. We share an interest in learning more and in helping each other. Membership in the GNHLUG is open to all with no membership fee.
