BALUG "announce" list
Want to be sure and catch important BALUG news/announcements?  It is
also a "low volume" list (generally maximum of 3 emails per month, and
sometimes as few as only one).  Consider subscribing directly so you
don't miss any such announcements and they're emailed to you in a timely
manner.

------------------------------

next BALUG meeting is 2013-01-15.  We generally meet 3rd Tuesdays.   
So, why not go ahead and note the dates on your 2013 calendar now?  :-)

2012-12 other Linux stuff
Missing and wanting to have more Linux in December?  Maybe even in San
Francisco with Chinese food?
You may want to check out some of these items:

Bay Area Debian (BAD) (unofficial) meetup Wed. Dec. 5th at Henry's Hunan
(Natoma) SF 7pm
http://bad.debian.net/list/2012-November/003522.html
http://bad.debian.net/

And immediately preceding the above and highly conveniently close by:
Ubuntu Hour 6-7pm
http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-california/2121/detail/

San Francisco Linux Users' Group (SF-LUG)
http://www.sf-lug.com/
first Sundays 11a-1p & third Mondays 6p-8p

Noisebridge - among other things, has many Linux, Open Source,
computer/digital/electronics/hardware and related events/activities,
many of them weekly.
http://www.noisebridge.net/

new group/meeting: Ubuntu Hour Berkeley - first meeting Dec. 1 3-4pm
http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-california/2125/detail/

And probably some other events/meetings I've forgotten to include or
don't have details on quite at my fingertips.

And, as soon as you start missing "Hey, those other groups and meetups
generally don't have a speaker/presentation!" - we generally *do* have
that at BALUG - along with Chinese food, etc.
