BALUG Volunteers:
Michael Paoli & I mailed the November announcement to the following LUG mailing lists (see below) and we have planed to send reminders on Sunday or Monday.
Quick Question: Does anybody know if BayLISA, East Bay LUG or Stanford LUG have mailing lists? If so, links to their registration pages would be much appreciated, as I have not been able to find them.
Lastly, I have to say that I thought Bill Kendrick's post to balug-talk on November 10th regarding LUGOD was the best LUG announcement message I have seen yet. Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery so I borrowed a lot of his style in sending out the message.
LUGs mailed for Nov Meeting:
SVLUG SFLUG PenLUG Bay Area Debian BayPIGgies SMAUG SoCoSA CABAL BUUG SFO BUG SF Perl Mongers NB LUG BaySec BAFUG Oakland Perl Mongers

Anyway, ... hopefully you all got/saw it, but in any case the announcement is out: http://lists.balug.org/pipermail/balug-announce-balug.org/2007-November/00 0095.html
Quoting Michael Paoli Michael.Paoli@cal.berkeley.edu:
Well, I don't see the announcement out there yet, ... so, ... I'll be sending it out very shortly unless I see any indication not to do so. Hopefully I've incorporated "enough" of folks suggestions that it will reasonably please most ... but seems infeasible to please everyone 100% - so it's a bit of a compromise from various bits of input and suggestions.
Quoting Michael Paoli:
Anyway, to make getting the announcement out a bit easier, I also added these two folks: Andrew Fife afife@untangle.com Jesse Zbikowski embeddedlinuxguy@gmail.com as being able to post to the "announce" list unmoderated - i.e. you can now post it there directly yourself. I picked and added the two noted above, as, in addition to myself, they're doing most of the on-line posting/e-mailing/event listing publicity anyway.
Also, I did slightly update the "announce" list policy and stuff, to clarify and improve it a bit based on various uses and intended uses, and feedback and suggestions from "announce" list subscribers
(including
also many of Rick Moen's excellent suggestions). The (slightly updated) policy can be seen here: http://lists.balug.org/listinfo.cgi/balug-announce-balug.org ... most notably, keep the "volume" down - probably aim for only 2 postings to the "announce" list per month, with a max of 3 (sort of hold the 3rd in reserve, in case the meeting venue burns down or Linus decides to pay visit to our meeting on short notice).
