Hey.  I actually recently moved FROM Mountain View, back to Davis.
(Note to those who might miss me -- I work in Menlo Park on Tues & Thurs, and
am happy to get together w/ friends for lunch, esp. if you can provide the
wheels :^) )


I highly recommend our LUG out here in Davis:

You know... if you feel like driving 80-100 miles... ;^)


Some other, more _local_ LUGs to look into:

  Silicon Valley LUG (SVLUG)  in Mtn View (or there'bouts)
  http://www.svlug.org/

  Peninsula LUG (PenLUG)  in Redwood City (or there'bouts)
  http://www.penlug.org/

  San Francisco LUG (SF-LUG)  also in San Fran
  http://www.sf-lug.org/

There's also:

  East Bay LUG (EBLUG)  in Fremont
  http://www.eblug.org/

  Stanford University LUG (SULUG)  in Palo Alto
  http://sulug.stanford.edu/

  North Bay LUG (NBLUG)  way up in Sebastopol
  http://www.nblug.org/

  Bay Area Debian (BAD)  meets on occasion at various locales in the bay

And don't forget LinuxWorld Expo, next month at the Moscone Center in SF:

And the annual Linux Picnic ("Picn*x") in Sunnyvale, the following weekend:

(Note: I'm still on the picn*x mailing list -- dudes... is there any actual
_planning_ going on?  I really fear this year might come out similar to
last year, coordination-wise. :^( :^(  Sadly, I once again have no time to
invest, since (1) I live in Davis again and (2) i have a ~7mo old baby!)


Anyway, good luck and enjoy!  Welcome to the area.
