by Andrew Fife 09 Jul '08

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

(forw) Re: [smofs] Hosting Recommendations

Passing this comment back. I vaguely recall that whichever kind soul is underwriting the hosting of BALUG's presence at Dreamhost (Michael Hubbard?) claimed that it's not possible to configure acceptance of mail at the RFC-mandated postmaster(a)balug.org and abuse(a)balug.org mailboxes, and delivery to somewhere useful.[1] Dave Anderson (below) claims that this is not the case, that the Dreamhost customer merely needs to configure that functionality, to make it happen. It would be greatly to BALUG's advantage, were that to be done. (Hint, hint.) Thanks in advance. ;-> [1] And yes, I'd be fine with that mail getting directed to rick(a)linuxmafia.com, if that's deemed desirable. Just let me know, if so. ----- Forwarded message from Dave Anderson <dave(a)daveanderson.com> ----- Date: Sun, 15 Jun 2008 21:50:20 -0400 (EDT) From: Dave Anderson <dave(a)daveanderson.com> To: SMOFS Mailing list <smofs(a)lists.sflovers.org> Reply-To: SMOFS Mailing list <smofs(a)lists.sflovers.org> Subject: Re: [smofs] Hosting Recommendations On Fri, 13 Jun 2008, Rick Moen wrote: >If you do lookup of "balug.org" at http://www.rfc-ignorant.org/ , you >find that it's listed in their "postmaster" DNS blocklist.

Dreamhost certainly doesn't automatically do something useful with email to postmaster@<hosted.domain>, but it definitely allows the customer to set it up. I just tried this with a domain we're testing there, and when I set postmaster as a forward-only alias to another account mail to it was received properly.

Fwd: room not available 9/16
by Andrew Fife 15 Jun '08

15 Jun '08

Looks like the Four Seas is not available for September. This may be a bit of a problem because Ian Murdock's schedule seems to be quite tight. Really unfortunate considering two other date changes this year. Would you rather: A) change the location... if so please suggest B) change the date and risk losing Ian Murdock as speaker Untangle is a willing host, but we really don't have the space to host more than about 30 and I a suspect that this meeting will draw many more. ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: "Sara Lim" <sara(a)fourseasr.com> To: "Andrew Fife" <afife(a)untangle.com> Sent: Friday, June 13, 2008 6:58:42 PM GMT -08:00 US/Canada Pacific Subject: room not available 9/16 Hi Andrew, I wanted to let you know in advance that our banquet room is not available on September 16 th .

I just wanted to double check that would work for you guys before I announce the change. Also, our speaker is a pretty good one this month so I'm optimistic that we'll be back in the 40+ attendance range. I'll touch base with an exact head count closer to the date.

For show casing the Haiku OS, you really need to apply for a Haiku booth in the .org pavillion. If the Haiku User Group wants to pass out flyers about its _meetings_ that would be fine, but the LUG booth isn't abour promoting one distro vs. another. Rather the LUG booth is about letting folks know about social and technical resources they availible to them in Northern California. -- Andrew Fife Untangle - The Open Source Network Gateway www.untangle.com/download 650.425.3327 desk 415.806.6028 cell

Re: [BALUG-Admin] Meeting with the Small Business Administration !!

Copying "balug-admin" in on this message. It doesn't look like this event has any Linux or F/OSS content so I would not be in favor of BALUG announcing or endorsing the event. -- Andrew Fife Untangle - The Open Source Network Gateway www.untangle.com/download 650.425.3327 desk 415.806.6028 cell -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Parrillo [mailto:dparrillo@strategi.biz] Sent: Monday, June 09, 2008 1:39 PM To: 'jim stockford' Cc: nbs(a)sonic.net; webmaster(a)lugod.org; rsvp(a)balug.org Subject: Meeting with the Small Business Administration !! Importance: High Jim; I'm hosting a meeting with recruiters and the Small Business Administration (www.sba.org) for next Tuesday - June 17th. Evite URL: http://www.evite.com/app/publicUrl/CWWBHDBITKJETMBMOIQE/sba I would like for you to attend this meeting - so that we can chat about perhaps having a similar meeting with the Linux LUG Heads in about 30-60 days. Folks can learn about getting small business loans - and actually talk with a lender (no matter what the credit score) - and could be instrumental in helping some folks out !!! I know that the BALUG meeting is the 3rd Tuesday of the month -any chance we could join these two meetings together... Or have one on the first floor - the other event on the 2nd... Having both groups meet up with the SBA before head... (just a thought !) This can be VERY helpful information to independent contractors - and people who might to entertain starting a small business - providing Linux tech support, sales, etc. Give me a call = and we can discuss. I am also DESPERATELY trying to find a candidate for this SENIOR LINUX SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR (see job description)... Any attention to you can get this position - would certainly be GREATLY APPRECIATED !! Hope to see you at this SBA meeting - and lets start making plans for one with the SBA and the local Linux Groups - sometime in the VERY near future. It's all about "community!" - especially during these very difficult economic times. !! Keep in touch - and I'll do the same. Danny!
