Open source means the program code is freely shared, allowing experts to customize, modify, or extend it as they see fit. Because it's free, you can download it, hack it, and give it back. The open source concept, and the flexibility that it allows, continues to fuel a very powerful movement. The stability and flexibility of Linux are remarkable. Groups meet monthly on both the Bloomington and Indianapolis campuses to discuss issues of concern to Unix programmers and systems administrators.
Meetings are open to the public.
