We’ve noticed that a lot of people who come to our events don’t realize they have a standing invitation to help guide the organization—and we want to change that.

Our Membership Committee has been looking at how we will define and handle membership in the future, and before making any official changes in 2027, are hosting a few opportunities for casual chats with the community. If you’re interested in what goes on behind-the-scenes, or want a say in where we go next, this is the perfect opportunity to engage.

Join the first-ever Hackforge Town Hall where you can:

Get to know us: Meet our staff, board, and committee members.

Shape our programming: Tell us what you want to see more (or less!) of.

Share your ideas: Help us figure out how to build a community you want to be a part of.

Help define membership: Help us talk through what “joining Hackforge” should look like moving forward.

As always, this event is completely free and open to everyone.

After last month’s dive into C++ 101, we’re back to The Paint Project.

If you’re new to C++, we are building a paint style program (think Microsoft Paint or Mario Paint), using C++ as a big group project.

Together, we’ll hack on the paint project and anyone who wants to work on it can either bring their laptops and feature-hack, or work on zoom and chat with us.

Participants should ideally come with an idea to work on, and we’ll help each other out!

What you need to attend:

A laptop with a compiler

An idea to work on during the session.

Who Should Attend?

Coding Enthusiasts

Those interested in learning C++

Folks who want to contribute to a Hackforge Project

This month, LUG will be hosting a Linux install party…drop-in style!

If you’re interested in trying out Linux, then this is the event for you! Members will be available to help you with installing Linux on your laptop, onto a virtual machine, or any other kind of device.

Come on out even if you’re already familiar with Linux! This is a great opportunity to try a new distribution or just hang around and chat with other Linux enthusiasts.
