We have set up a open source club in my college (Beihang University). The name, after discussion, is ”Beihang Open Source Club”, not “Beihang Linux User Group” ;-)
The primary goal of such a group is to provide a place where students like me can find people with the same interest, i.e. interest in open source. But beyond that, we have another important goal to build a healthy, active and strong open source community in Beihang. I would like to see more codes coming out of my university. So the activities of our club will mostly be technical ones; especially how to develop open source software.
I am not the first one to come up with the idea of a open source club; there had already been a group online, linuxbuaa. As to the setting up of Beihang Open Source Club, it’s the result of many people working hard together. Besides our initial members, we also got much help from Beijing Linux User Group, Tsinghua Open Source Club, Beiyou Open Source Society and many many others, thanks to all!
Beihang Open Source Club will gather twice a month, 19:00 to 21:00 on the first and third Fridays. We have had two meetings now, the first discussing general matters about the club and the second on regular expressions. Come and join us as long as you love open source!
