BALUG TOMORROW! Tu 2011-08-16 BALUG meeting; & other BALUG "news"

Bay Area Linux User Group (BALUG) meeting
Tuesday 6:30 P.M. 2011-08-16

Please RSVP if you're planning to come (see further below).

For our 2011-08-16 BALUG meeting, at least presently we don't have a
specific speaker/presentation lined up and confirmed for this meeting
(but we may have one on a security topic, or possibly something else -
if you're directly subscribed to our "announce" list:
http://lists.balug.org/listinfo.cgi/balug-announce-balug.org
watch it and/or:
http://www.balug.org/#Meetings-upcoming
for announcements and potentially late-breaking updates.
).
In any case, speaker/presentation or not, that doesn't prevent us from
having interesting and exciting meetings.  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 five or so
years).  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.
Good food, good people, and interesting conversations to be had.

So, if you'd like to join us please RSVP to:

                       rsvp@balug.org

**Why RSVP??**

Well, don't worry we won't turn you away, but the RSVPs really help
BALUG and the Four Seas Restaurant plan the meal and meeting, and with
sufficient attendance, they also help ensure that we'll be able to eat
upstairs in the private banquet room.
