Linux-Presentation-Day basics

Since 2015 the LPD exists as an event across Europe. Our goal is to inspire people to use the free operating system.
Two times a year the LPD is held in form of many local, distributed events.

The theme “Experience Linux & open source” is key.

Linux user groups

Linux user groups are the heart and soul of the LPD. These interest groups usually meet regularly to exchange about the free operating system and to discuss topics in that context. Some meet casually, others give lectures … each Linux user group is different and every “LUG” is happy to see new faces.

The engaged LUGs organize many small events for the Linux-Presentation-Day to excite visitors to use it as well.

We offer you to upload videos, which can be watched online even before the LPD date.
