The Linux Users' Group of Davis is a 501(c)(7) non-profit computer club serving the Sacramento region, consisting of hundreds of people who share an interested in the Linux® operating system, Free & Open Source software and other related topics — both technical and non-technical. Our goals are to advocate the use of Linux and Open Source, to educate the community on these software alternatives, and to support and provide a social network for local Linux users. LUGOD holds regular meetings twice a month. On the first Tuesday of each month, we hold a social gathering at a local restaurant or café, and on the third Monday of each month we meet at the Davis Public Library to listen to informative presentations by guest speakers. (Day, time and location subject to change!) We also hold other events and workshops and maintain a number of active mailing lists (some with over 200 subscribers), an IRC channel for live chatting, and communities on social networks (Facebook and LinkedIn). Our meetings, events and membership, are free and open to the general public. Join us!

Next LUGOD Meeting   Monday, October 21, 2019 @ 7:00pm Intro to Rust--Learning to Write Safe Programs With Less Code Presented by Eric Rasmussen Most programming languages either come with a runtime system to manage memory or require you to manage it in your code. Rust has a unique memory model that makes the compiler work for you, handling all those checks before you ever run your program. You can even compile your Rust programs straight to WebAssembly to run in your browser. Come learn more about what makes Rust unique and how it compares to other modern languages. About the Speaker: Eric Rasmussen writes a lot of code in a lot of languages, is a programming consultant, and manages a devops team at newcars.com.
