Meeting Details...
Cost/Dining:
The meetings are always free, but dinner is not (unless you are our
guest speaker, in which case we also treat you to dinner). For
Henry's Hunan Restaurant, if folks are agreeable, we'll share and
dine "family" style, and split up the costs, and typical cost per
person including tax and tip (but not including beverages beyond
complementary tea) would be in the $13.00 to $17.50 range, and
commonly around $15.00 to $16.50. Cash may be preferred to ease
splitting up the check. One can also specifically order the
dish(es) one needs/prefers (e.g. for dietary considerations) - and
we also commonly order some dish(es) that may meet various dietary
considerations) (e.g. vegetarian, non-pork, ...). Please arrive by
7:00 P.M., we expect to order entrees at that time, and may order
appetizer(s) and/or soup(s) anytime after 6:30 P.M.

REMINDER: TODAY:
For our 2015-06-16 BALUG meeting:
Leap Second[1]s - and other time[2](ly) topics
We have a discussion topic for this meeting, even if we don't have a
"speaker", we do have folks at least rather to quite familiar with leap
seconds and most matters time(ly) for Linux/Unix/BSD - and we're not
limited to only discussions on and about leap seconds and time.
Are you ready for the leap second coming up on the last day of this
month?

2015-07-01T00:00:02+0000 2015-06-30T17:00:02-0700
Will the world end?
Will all computers and The Internet crash?
Will you have to fix your clocks?
Will there be glitches, or even so much as a hiccup?
Or is it all hype, or mostly so - or not (entirely)?
What are these leap seconds anyway? Can we get rid of them?
What about NTP[3]?
What about other time matters for Linux/Unix/BSD?
How does Linux/Unix/BSD deal with timezones and Standard/Daylight/Summer
time anyway, and what about when the rule/law changes, and how do leap
seconds fit into all that anyway?
Come hear about and discuss these, and other timely topics at this
month's BALUG meeting.

For our 2015-05-19 BALUG meeting:
At least presently we don't have a specific speaker/presentation lined
up for this meeting, but that doesn't prevent us from having
interesting and exciting meetings and discussions. Sometimes we also
manage to secure/confirm a speaker too late for us to announce or fully
publicize the speaker (that's happened at least twice in the past).
Got questions, answers, and/or opinions? We typically have some
expert(s) and/or relative expert(s) present to cover Linux and related
topic areas. Want to hear some interesting discussions on LINUX and
other topics? Show up at the meeting, and feel free to bring an agenda
if you wish. Want to help ensure BALUG has speakers/presentations
lined up for future meetings? Help refer speakers to us and/or
volunteer to be one of the speaker coordinators. Great food and
people, and interesting conversations to be had.
So, if you'd like to join us please RSVP to:
