The Silicon Valley Mac User Group originally started in the early 1990s as the South Bay branch of BMUG (Berkeley Mac User Group), offering San Jose and Silicon Valley people a way to attend BMUG meetings without making the trek to the main meeting up in Berkeley. Around 1994 we settled down on the campus of Apple Computer thanks to the donation of meeting space by various Apple employees, where we’ve been ever since!

After the dissolution of BMUG in 1998, BMUG South continued to meet on its own, emphasizing itself as an informal organization. In 2003 we changed our name to SVMUG to reflect the Silicon Valley focus.

Today, we still meet on a monthly basis, as well as maintaining a YahooGroups mail list and the web site you’re reading now! Companion groups include other BMUG remnants (BMUGWest and PlanetMUG) as well as nearby groups (A32 and PA-SMUG).
