We celebrate operating system diversity, disruptive engineering concepts, and collaborative development models that shaped the UNIX legacy — from illumos to FreeBSD, from Debian to Darwin, from NetBSD to OpenBSD, from Plan 9 to Inferno… welcome to the club!
We are a diverse group of free software advocates & network architects, community organizers & system administrators, ascii artists & tech entrepreneurs, counter-culture enthusiasts & command-line users of all flavors. We love learning. We love sharing. We love building.
We have meet-ups, talks & hackathons, currently in Dijon (France). Those in-person events are unlike large tech conferences by design: they gather smaller groups of people for quality time, easier organizing, focused sessions, affinity building, around keyboards & beyond.
We are also a RIPE NCC organisation (ORG-UNIX3-RIPE), carrying the 802x network & running autonomous hosting infrastructure on our diverse yet complementary operating systems stack, for a fruitful mix of production boxes & exploratory setups.
We are particularly keen on inviting, onboarding & including folks who have historically had less visibility, incentive & opportunity in tech. As such, we’re excited to create a safe space for free software hackers of all genders, all colors, and all UNIX flavors!
We’re happy to meet fellow textmode rebels with an open mind, so don’t be shy, and come chat on IRC? Looking forward to meeting all of you terminal rockers, commandline punks, console ravers, shell breakdancers & network headbangers eventually!
