I have replied back to Beth letting her know that this is putting BALUG in a serious jam and asking if there is anyway that Ian can still make it. -- Andrew Fife Untangle - The Open Source Network Gateway www.untangle.com/download 650.425.3327 desk 415.806.6028 cell -----Original Message----- From: Beth.Basco(a)Sun.COM [mailto:Beth.Basco@Sun.COM] Sent: Friday, August 29, 2008 3:43 PM To: Andrew Fife Subject: Re: Speaking @ BALUG in 2008? *Ian Murdock Andrew, Here I am again..

Hi Pete: Copying in balug-admin so that you're request will be documented publicly. To clarify, is the objection to any BALUG event, or just Linux centric meetings? This particular meeting is about Open Source programs at Google and not Linux specifically. As the SFOBUG list admin, we are happy to respect whatever you prefer, just let us know.

O'Reilly Discount Banners for BALUG.org
by Andrew Fife 03 Aug '08

03 Aug '08

O'Reilly treats BALUG pretty well with free copies of pretty much any book we want. Does anybody object to helping them out by displaying one of their discount banner ads? In addition to helping O'Reilly, members may appreciate knowing about the 35% discount. Here is a link to the various banners. http://ug.oreilly.com/promote/discount/ P.S. If there is an O'Reilly book that you want, and there is at least a reasonable chance of doing a review, please let me know that I can request if for you. -- Andrew Fife Untangle - The Open Source Network Gateway www.untangle.com/download 650.425.3327 desk 415.806.6028 cell

Still Need Help for BALIG Tomorrow
by Andrew Fife 15 Jul '08

15 Jul '08

Regarding the BALUG dinner tomorrow night, we still need a little bit of help. Jim Stockford has volunteered to MC the event. Is anyone willing to collect the $13 from attendees and coordinate with the restraint? Its $12 to the restaurant and $1 tip to the staff. Lastly, I normally bring the projector, extension cords for power and the 10ft projector screen. Obviously I can't bring this items. However, if anyone is willing to pick them up in San Mateo, I can certainly make them available. -- Andrew Fife Untangle - The Open Source Network Gateway www.untangle.com/download 650.425.3327 desk 415.806.6028 cell

Found out earlier this evening that my grandfather is having heart surgery on next Tuesday. I won't be able to make the BALUG meeting so I'm hoping that someone else will be able to run the meeting.

Sept Meeting @ 585 Howard
by Andrew Fife 03 Jul '08

03 Jul '08

Balug Admin: With the help of Alan Duboff and Steve Lau, we have secured a new location for the September meeting. (As a reminder, the Four Seas cannont host BALUG on 9/16/08) The new location will be at Songbird's office at 585 Howard near 2nd street. The location can hold aprox 75 people. Three questions: 1)Given that the speaker (Ian Murdock) is likely to be quite popular and we have a limited amount of space, should we enforce a mandatory RSVP? 2)Given that we won't have the goodwill from the Four Seas kitchen, I'll probably windup fronting the cash for food. Pizza/soda seems like the logical choice any objections? 3)Given that dinner is likely to be pizza/soda should we lower the cost of dinner to say $8 or $5? -Andrew -- Andrew Fife Untangle - The Open Source Network Gateway www.untangle.com/download 650.425.3327 desk 415.806.6028 cell

June 24 2008, my lack of attending
by Larry Platzek 25 Jun '08

25 Jun '08

I had planned on attendding the june meeting and my wife took off work so we could. I was out of town when Adrew posted speaker problem. I would have felt better having no speaker but meeting on the regular day. I have enjoyed no speaker meetings in the past. I hope meeting is well attended tonight. My health is not as good as has been so I will only attend a few meetings of balug in the future unless my health improves. I do not expect Dick Verna to make many meetings of BALUG. I hope to see members at other events when/where can. Take care... Larry Platzek larryp(a)inow.com
