OPLUG – Oslo Pils and Linux User Group
A free forum for discussing Pils, Linux, Free Software, Wireless LAN and other liberating issues. Neither use of Linux nor use of Pils is strictly required, as long as you are happy to chat with the sorts of folk who use either or both.
We meet on the first Wednesday of each month at Den Gamle Major (from Winter
2022), on Bogstadveien by the tram-stop just before Majorstua. We tend to
change venue roughly once per year (a practice somewhat neglected during Covid).
We have a mailing list, talk
at the domain of this web-site.
To join the OPLUG mailing list, send a message to <dk@syse.no> asking to be added to the talk@oplug list.
We used to have a tradition of recording our meetings: the results may be found below.
OPLUG Mk.CLXXXI
Wednesday, October 4th, 2017 may well have been our 15th anniversary.
OPLUG Mk.CLXXX
Among the 17 attendees, we noticed that the 7 who've been employed to develop web browsers had, between us, more than a century of experience of web browser development. (Four at around 17 years, one at 19, one at about 13 and one at a mere ten. In fact, omitting this humble scribe, six totalled a century, if those rough numbers are right.) Between us, we have worked for three browser suppliers; and two of us shall soon start working for a fourth.
One of those present observed that, since the first entry below is the third gathering and dated December 2002, our next gathering is probably a fifteenth anniversary.
