Brief History
Ken Dyke founded the BozemanLUG in the Spring of 2001. While I attended several of the early meetings, my memory about the forming of the group is quite sketchy. I believe it was an offshoot of the Unix Users Group.
Ken Dyke moved to Helena in mid 2005 and continued to coordinate meetings. In Sept. 2005, Scott Dowdle (formerly with the BillingsLUG) move to the Bozeman area and took over coordination of the group.
On early Monday morning, October 29th, 2007 Ken Dyke passed away in a Helena hospital as a result of cancer. We'll miss you Ken!

The BozemanLUG is a rather informal group without any type of formal membership.

Where
The BozemanLUG meets at the following location:
Montana State University Bozeman
Engineering and Physical Sciences Building, Room 259 (EPS259)
Bozeman, MT 59717
Parking is available in the pay lot on the Southwest corner of S. 7th Avenue and W. Grant Street. At the start time of the meeting, the pay lot is still charging and you must pull a ticket to enter the lot. By the time the meeting is over, the pay lot is no longer charging and the entry barrier is open... so effectively, parking is free.
When
BozemanLUG meetings are generally on the last Thursday of the month unless it conflicts with a holiday. Please check the Events calendar at the bottom of the right-hand column to see the meetings scheduled for all of the LUGs in Montana including the BozemanLUG.
There is also a shared Zimbra calendar with all of the LUG meeting information available for those with iCal compatible calendar applications:

Please note that we are cheap and use a self-signed SSL certificate rather than a store bought one... so it is ok to disregard the SSL Certificate warning if you encounter it.
Meetings start at 7:00 PM and have no formal ending time but usually end around 9PM or later.
