Okay, ... I'll send out announcement to the announce list shortly (unless someone happens to beat me to it) ... I'm working on putting that item together now, ... I'll see if I easily find on-line information relevant to our presenter and/or stuff it looks like Moshe will be covering, and if so I'll also include relvant link(s).

Michael, This is the only infomation I was supplied. I did find June 2005 Linux Format Magazine does have an article on xen. http://www.linuxformat.co.uk/ I have not seen article online but I have no time to search. I do not expect to be online until Monday night. Do what you can about postings for the June balug meeting. Thank You!

Re: Visiting SF on 20th-22nd June)

Perhaps a bit late, but would you (re)consider ... BALUG[1] meets on the evening of 2005-06-21 (generally 3rd Tuesdays). BALUG does have a program/speaker for the 21st, however meet/greet/keysigning would work rather well*. As BALUG hasn't done a keysigning or keysigning event at least within the past year or more, doing such at BALUG may better cross-polinate keysigning. As BAD[2] just met at 21st Amendment earlier this month (including keysigning) this might be somewhat redundant for folks and not create as much cross-keysigning. As BALUG meets on 2005-06-21 (in Chinatown), having both on the same evening also could result in some crowd-splitting, reducing attendence at both. Both locations (BALUG regular meeting location, and 21st Amendment) are approximately equally accessible via BART and other public transportation (both a moderate walk from BART). BALUG meetings are $10.00 USD for dinner (see BALUG site for details).

I'm guestimating doing this at BALUG would sound fine to the BALUG folks in general, but (if and) until the keysigning event is "officially" moved to BALUG, I just included balug-admin-balug.org@lists.balug.org and not yet balug-talk-balug.org and/or balug-announce-balug.org Hmmmm, I don't see that anything has (yet) gone out to balug-announce-balug.org regarding BALUG's speaker for 2005-06-21 ... perhaps if it's (shortly) agreed to move the keysigning to BALUG, BALUG announcement can go out soon, and cover both.

...

8:00 P.M. and runs typically through about 9:00 P.M. That well leaves most of 7:00 P.M. - approx. 7:45 P.M. available for keysigning, and can also include additional time for those who show up earlier (as early as 6:30 P.M.

...

I will be visiting San Francisco this month. I arrive on the evening of 20th June, and leave on the afternoon of the 22nd.

Ben Hartshorne suggest that I post here to see if anyone would be meeting up for some keysigning on the evening of the 20th or 21st.

I have subscribed to this list, so either post back here or mail me directly if you are interested.

I have no objection to having keysigning from 6:40P< unitill dinner and 5-19

minutes of speaking time after dinner. I also would think having a meeting with keysigning as the topic would be good at some future meeting. Anyone what to do it? Anyone want to arrange it?

Sorry no one replied sooner but I did ask Dick to reply woth our opions.

I am scheduled to spend time away email and be out of town untill Monday afternoon.

I hope someone will send out the meeting reminder!

I hope someone will take meeting notes and have the notes on the Balug website!

I may be at Balug meeting for June meeting. My wife and I have been having medical problems (not related)!
