Silicon Valley Macintosh User Group

The Silicon Valley Macintosh User Group (also known as Silicon Valley Mac User Group or SVMUG) is an active Macintosh user group based in the Silicon Valley area.

History
SVMUG was originally established on June 15, 1992 in San Jose, California as BMUG South, the "other" meeting group of the Berkeley Macintosh Users Group (BMUG). Monthly meetings from the 1990s to 2000 were held every 3rd Monday in the Town Hall meeting room at Apple Computer's 1 Infinite Loop campus in Cupertino. The original BMUG went bankrupt and disbanded in 2000, but BMUG South continued to meet through the work of volunteers.

After BMUG
In January 2001, the BMUG South meetings were moved to the Beatles Conference Room of Apple's DeAnza 3 building at the southwest side of Infinite Loop. The group was renamed SVMUG in 2003 and continued to meet at the Apple campus. In 2013, the monthly meetings were moved to Google's headquarters in Mountain View, California. Meetings have been held online at svmug.org since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2000.
