FOSS stands for Free, Open-Source Software.

The FOSS User Group meets 3:00-6:00pm on the first Thursday of each month, in Room 125 (the 1st-floor Classroom) at the new Natick Community-Senior Center, 117 East Central Street (508-647-6540).

Our next meeting will be on June 6th, 2013.

Would you like to learn about good, free, reliable software for your computer, and share ideas with others who use it?

Tux the Linux penguin

Since March 2011, Dick and Jill Miller of Miller Microcomputer Services have led these monthly discussions and demos of FOSS computer software for beginners and experienced users. From Firefox to Linux, from office applications to games, family history and photo editing, thousands of programs await our attention!

Show up by 3PM for an introductory slide talk, and feel free to bring your laptop computer.

We are delighted that the Natick Community-Senior Center hosts this monthly event. It's open to seniors and juniors, to Natick and elsewhere, to you if you're within range. It can help any person or group that wants to add more computing power at no software cost - and with much lower hardware cost, as well. (Volunteer groups, take note!) This user group will become as good as we all choose to make it. We are volunteering free time from our company, MMS, which is designed from the ground up to help our computer-consulting clients while helping the community in which we live.

We also thank O'Reilly Media, Inc. and Boston User Groups for supplying good computer books for our monthly book raffle.
