--- title: Welcome to Freeside description: Third post, an introduction to the Freeside society at the University of Hull. date: 2021-10-16 tags: - freeside - uni layout: layouts/post.njk featuredImage: /img/freeside_square_path.svg --- This post will act as an informal introduction to Freeside ## What is Freeside? Freeside is the student run Linux user group at the University of Hull. ## How do I join? Unlike many groups at a university, there is **no** membership cost to become a member of Freeside. It is also irrelevant which course you are taking, everyone is welcome here - even if you don't attend the university! You can join the Freeside Discord server [here](https://discord.gg/jE5VGjCu). ## What do we do? Linux, seems a bit of a vague description doesn't it? How about I go into a little more detail. Freeside provides an environment for everyone to learn more about Linux, open-source development, system administration, have experience with networking and career opportunities, social events / weekly virtual meet ups and access to the Freeside lab (Freeside Lab available to UoH students only). ## Where to find us? - On-site : Robert Blackburn Building Room 300 - [Discord](https://discord.gg/jE5VGjCu) - [GitHub](https://github.com/freesidehull) - [Freeside Website](https://freeside.co.uk/)
