If you want help installing Linux or just want to eat and hang out, come to installfest! The [LUG Lounge](https://linux.ucla.edu/mediawiki/index.php?title=Visit_Us), at **Boelter Hall 2763**, is a meeting/study/hangout place for the group and facilitates a lot its activities. Feel free to stop by and meet other Linux users (as well as people in ACM and UPE)!

There is a makerspace on the floor below us, where you can go and 3D print
|
|
things (as well as lasercut them).
|
|
|
|
You might also find LUG members at the trash heap outside the first floor, next
|
|
to the Engineering IV building, digging around for old monitors, computers, or
|
|
networking equipment. We're just gearing up for the next installfest...
