Hi Folks - quick reminder: Ian Murdock will be speaking at BALUG Tomorrow (2008-09-16)!

Ian founded Debian in 1993 and served as project lead through 1996. Currently Ian is the Vice President of Developer and Community Marketing at Sun Microsystems and previously was the CTO of the Linux Foundation. (Full bio links below)

============================ VERY important changes... ============================

1)Change in venue We are NOT meeting at the Four Seas Restaurant because they have a conflict. However, Songbird (http://www.songbird.com/) has kindly offer the use of their office in SOMA for the meeting. (Address below)

2)Change in food & cost We will be ordering pizza & soda for this meeting. The cost will be $10, meat and veggie-friendly options will be available and we promise it won't be Pizza Hut or Domino's. (the meeting is free, but $10.00 for the food)

3)RSVPs REQUIRED (for food!) It looks like we'll have enough space for all that would like to attend, and we still very much appreciate and want your RSVPs, but if you haven't already RSVPed *and* want to be in on our pizza dinner purchase, we need that RSVP very soon (like by rather/quite early tomorrow morning*). For later RSVPs or those that just show up, we should have adequate space for you, but probably won't have pizza dinner for you.

(BALUG volunteers are personally paying for pizza upfront, and we need to finalize pizza RSVP tally and get our large pizza delivery order in rather early for timely delivery of the large delivery order, hence the cutoff on dinner RSVPs)

RSVPs to: rsvp@balug.org

*if you want to be sure and get in on the pizza, get your RSVP in before 6:00 A.M. 2008-09-16
