WILUG(7) Internet Reference Manual WILUG(7) NAME wilug - Wisconsin Linux Users' Group SYNOPSIS wilug {thing} [other stuff if you want...] DESCRIPTION WILUG doesn't really exist; it's basically an online cesspool inhabited by members of real Wisconsin Linux and Unix groups (see SEE ALSO). It's like an umbrella, but turned upside down and filled with radioactive lollipops and eliteists. thing may be one of the following options: irc We hang out on irc.libera.chat in the channel #wilug. http You're already here. All other stuff will be silently ignored. Presentations otay showed us how to connect to Oracle. spinal4ever gave a talk on Oracle security. Many thanks to our volunteer speakers! We've also had a series of 'lightning talks' on a variety of technical subjects.

Nobody really used it at first: #madlug and #newlug seemed good enough. But then, lo, the conversations became disjointed and rizbot became a bug. So we merged on 20 December, 2006. A domain name (wilug.us) and web page were added on 1 January, 2007. On 2 January, 2007, a transparent and democratic vote lead to an undesirable outcome so lt_kije arbitrarily chose 30 January as the official birthday of the various WILUG entities. On 30 January, 2007, in honor of The Birthday, sargeantd procured and donated wilug.org for the exclusive use of WILUG. sargeantd was then promoted to sergeant. On 27 June, 2007, we decided to never forget the fact that, earlier that day, Freenode staff awoke like sleeping dragons from their digital stupor to read their email with bleary, eldritch eyes, and realize that, yea, we had bugged them for like six months and, verily, they should give us a frigging groupmask. And they did. On 25 April, 2008, remcycle found #wilug by using this webpage (see BUGS). On 22 December, 2008, wilug.us (don't use this one) died. But it doesn't really matter, because wilug.org (use this one) still lives. Whew! On 12 February, 2010, n9udl passive-aggressively "noted" that our PieSpy had become stale. So sgtd, sekhmet and lt_kije put all the important things they were doing on hold and reorganized things. There. YOU'RE WELCOME. A while ago, the RAID volume that hosted wilug.org (don't use that one) went away. On 15 September, 2011, lt_kije brought it back and moved the site to wilug.github.com since the old registrations had expired. On 19 May, 2021, the great Freenode Implosion Of 2021 happened and we scurried over to Libera. Good thing, too! BUGS Apparently, this webpage can be used to find our IRC channel. That is bizarre. Submitting patches still requires a keyboard. LAME. BUGS EMERITUS rizbot FreeNode HITS You are our 000,000,001th visitor! WILUG(7) Internet Reference Manual WILUG(7)
