Do we have some suitable text blurbs to write up promoting the speaker/presentation? About a paragraph or so would be handy. Then I could get that included and written up and sent out to the balug "announce" list ... could put out a notice similar to ones I/we have done recently, e.g. like: http://lists.balug.org/pipermail/balug-announce-balug.org/2007-April/000085.... Anyone have any other noteworthy BALUG stuff to include in or include a reference to (e.g. link) for the BALUG announcement?
Also, so long as we're still completely unable to update the existing BALUG website (http://www.balug.org/) is there any use even bothering to mention it (or include it's URL) in the BALUG announcement(s)?
And yes, it's the 15th (almost always 3rd Tuesday).
Quoting jim stockford jim@well.com:
...er, it is Tuesday, May 15, isn't it?
I think someone else will put up notice on theweb site, if possible. I'll be glad to write up and post notice to the mailing list (and a couple of other groups' mailing lists, too). note: he's gonna bring one to demo!
Here's my correspondence with Edward:
many thanks. the offer for rides to and/or from still stands.
http://www.fourseasr.com/ is on 731 grant near sacramento street.
there's usually one or two people in the bar shortly after 6:30 and typically most everyone is in the bar area by 7:00, then to the tables for dinner.

You're on. I'll bring the XO to demonstrate, and talk about some of the consequences I foresee.
