Seems we had a bit of a BALUG scheduling communications SNAFU, and as a result, at least at the moment BALUG doesn't have a speaker/talk lined up for the 2006-08-15 BALUG meeting - which is one of the days LinuxWorld will be in San Francisco.
Perhaps some Debian person would be interested and available to do a talk/presentation on, about, or related to Debian? BALUG almost always meets the 3rd Tuesday of each month - so if the 2006-08-15 meeting date doesn't work out for any reason, other future BALUG meeting dates are also generally a possibility. I don't know if BALUG has ever done a meeting/talk/presentation specifically on/about or closely related to Debian, but I at least know BALUG hasn't specifically done so in relatively recent years. Anyway, could also be an opportunity for some more exposure/promotion of Debian. Also, if 2006-08-15 works for a talk/presentation at BALUG, this might also be made into or part of a "Debian LinuxWorld outing" event, as has been discussed at least somewhat on the BAD list. BAD/Debian keysigning has also been discussed a bit (mostly on the BAD) list - but that might best be coordinated for somewhere at or closer to LinuxWorld than the BALUG meeting location (which is a moderate walk away - roughly a 20 minute stroll). EFF and/or some other group(s)/organization(s) at LinuxWorld might also be interested in coordinating a joint keysigning event. references/excerpts: Bay Area Linux Users Group (BALUG) http://www.balug.org/ Bay Area Debian (BAD) http://bad.debian.net/ Events with Debian affiliation in North America <[email protected]> http://wiki.debian.org/LWCESF http://www.linuxworldexpo.com/live/12/events/12SFO06A/exposition/exhibitorinfo//QMONYA04RYSZ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
