Welcome to the home of the UUG, JMU’s 2nd best penguin club. The UUG is a group of Linux and Unix-like operating system users, as well as other open-source software users based at James Madison University. We work alongside several other clubs in JMU’s Computer Science department to provide a forum for education and advocacy in the FOSS ecosystem.
