The NMU Unix User Group (NMUUUG) is a student organization that develops and promotes interest in alternative operating systems (non-Windows); primarily this includes, but is not limited to, Unix derivatives. Further, the group helps to bring together students and non-students in the Marquette area, allowing them to socialize and learn in a group atmosphere.

Typical meeting types:

Tech talks → Presentations on various topics related to *nix systems, such as security, desktop environments, gaming, system administration, networking, etc.
Casual meetings → News, current events, tips/tricks, Q&A, chillin’, movies, gaming, etc.
Special interest meetings → Projects such as NMUBUNTU (our own Ubuntu Linux distribution geared around NMU campus life, which we deployed in the Fall ‘07 semester and plan to re-deploy for this Fall '08, as well) or UUPCON (we’re working on the idea of a UP computer/security conference).
