Looking back on the little NUG that could

We started the Southern California Nix Users Group (SNUG) in 2023.

It's been a year since then and we've come a long way. Here's a look back at the journey we've taken.

March 2023

Southern California Linux Expo 20x


Dan, Daniel and Ben (not pictured) got roped into boothing at SCALE for the Nix booth.

After meeting some enthusiastic users from around the region, they started talking about starting a Nix meetup in Southern California.

One Year of SNUG

As they say, time flies when you're having fun. When we first started the group, we were expecting the same 4 people attending each time.

But after one year, we've come quite a ways. Here's to another year of SNUG!
