= Frederick Open Source = FOS, in Frederick, MD, US, is all about Linux and the Open Source ethos, and is for anyone who is • curious about Linux, • seeking alternatives to Windows, • seeking to advance their Linux knowledge and skills, • seeking alternatives to common proprietary software (including to run on Windows and Mac), • a developer or other IT professional seeking to better apply their craft in Linux environments, • a Linux admin or other Linux professional seeking career networking opportunities (patience and comfort with non-professionals and willingness to help them use Linux, and skill in a teaching role, are all greatly valued in FOS). The 2020 SFD event for FOS is listed at: https://www.meetup.com/FrederickOpenSource/events/271719804/ This group is also intended for STEM students to experience the potential of Linux and associated open source software, and consider the value of a career in this field. Meeting topics cover a range of experience levels from beginner through advanced professional. Oh, and we have a lot of fun doing this too!
