For our 2023-06-20 (3rd Tuesdays) BALUG meeting, we have:
At least at the time of this updated we don't have a specific
speaker/presentation lined up for this meeting, however that doesn't
prevent us from having exciting interesting conversations. Sometimes
we have last minute speaker/presenters show up, or will often have
useful interesting conversations without any pre-arranged topic.
Perhaps something you'd like to bring up at or to the meeting?
Something to show, or ask about? Maybe we'll talk about one or more of
many topics that have recently gone around with some BALUG members or
other local LUGs or their lists, e.g. Debian 12 Bookworm, towards
virtualization of linuxmafia.com, local ISPs, SVLUG domains & history;
registrars, starting and sustaining LUGs, meeting locations; what's up
with Twitter, Reddit, ...; Cloud and un-Clouding, ...

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 $15.00 to $31.00 range, and
commonly around $18.00 to $27.00. Cash 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, ...). Punctual arrival
recommended for optimal dining experience, as we expect to be
ordering at that time.
At approximately 7:00 P.M. we start our presentation/talk, or more
informal talk/discussion if we don't have a particularly
presentation/talk/presenter or special guest arranged.

REMINDER: BALUG: meeting TOMORROW: Tu 2022-10-18:
For our 2022-10-18 (3rd Tuesdays) BALUG meeting, we have:
discussion topic: Spooky, Scary, from Hell Linux/IT stories
We don't have a formal presentation lined up for this meeting, but we
do have a suggested discussion topic:
Spooky, Scary, from Hell Linux/IT stories
Yes, it was again suggested for the month this year, and thinking of
what lies at the month's end. Many of us have such stories, and would
like to hear others.
So ... this month, come, learn by counter-example (experience is cruel
and rather unforgiving teacher, but highly effective), be entertained,
share your topical knowledge and experiences. Thrilling time likely to
be had by all. And that doesn't prevent us from also answering random
or specific Linux and other questions, sharing such information, etc.
6:00pm Tuesday, October 18th, 2022 2022-10-18
In-person:
Henry's Hunan Restaurant
110 Natoma St. (between 2nd & New Montgomery)
San Francisco, CA 94105-3704

Delicious Hunan cuisine and reasonably priced.
Easy Transit/Parking Access: short walk from BART, MUNI, parking
Trip planning: http://www.511.org/
Virtual:
https://meet.jit.si/BALUG.org Dial-in numbers also available at the
URL.
Please use earbud(s)/headphone(s) or mute yourself to avoid audio
feedback issues, also please if you have background sound/noise
issues mute yourself when not talking.
Generally works quite fine with reasonably modern Firefox
Chrome/Chromium, Microsoft Edge, possibly others (requires WebRTC
https://webrtc.org/
(Wikipedia: WebRTC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebRTC)
(can also do some testing here: https://test.webrtc.org/ Probably
don't worry about minor items like "Reflexive connectivity" )), from
desktop, laptop, tablet, smart phone, etc.
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 $15.00 to $31.00 range, and
commonly around $18.00 to $27.00. Cash 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, ...). Punctual arrival
recommended for optimal dining experience, as we expect to be
ordering at that time.
At approximately 7:00 P.M. we start our presentation/talk, or more
informal talk/discussion if we don't have a particularly
presentation/talk/presenter or special guest arranged.

giveaways (& wanted), hardware, CDs/DVDs, books/publications, ...

Hardware, etc. wanted/offered!
