From Michael.Paoli at cal.berkeley.edu Fri Mar 11 07:30:25 2016 From: Michael.Paoli at cal.berkeley.edu (Michael Paoli) Date: Fri, 11 Mar 2016 07:30:25 -0800 Subject: [buug] Books[1], etc. for ... Message-ID: <20160311073025.53471zkv19bv7928@webmail.rawbw.com> Books[1], etc. for ... I've got 5 new titles I received 2016-03-03 (only qty. 1 or 2 of each) plus only two remaining titles I received earlier (and only qty. 1 of each of those remain). If you are or may be interested, see: [1] This upcoming week I'll be attending: Berkeley Linux Users Group (BerkeleyLUG) [2] Bay Area Linux Users Group (BALUG) [3] Berkeley Unix User Group (BUUG) [4] I'm not planning to schelp all 6 physical titles with me to each of these meetings, so depending what relevant responses I see in email on the applicable user group list(s) (and emailing me and not to any relevant list doesn't count) before I head out the door from home directly or indirectly (e.g. via work) to those meetings, or if I see nothing relevant by then on list for group I'll be heading to, I'll randomly select ... anyway, based upon whichever, I'll bring at least two physical titles with me, and up to a max of perhaps as many as 4, to each of those meetings. "Must be present to win" - I'm not going to hold books for people that don't make it to meetings - especially while denying said book(s) to those that do make it to meetings - so don't ask. So, if you want to get hold of one of these titles, from me, you need to actually make it to a meeting. If you don't manage to catch me at one of the shortly upcoming meetings mentioned above, there are will remain some additional future opportunities to potentially get such a title for yourself from me at some other future meeting - see [1] (and that wiki page is generally update to reflect what remaining titles I still have copy(/ies) of). footnotes/references/excerpts: 1. https://www.wiki.balug.org/wiki/doku.php?id=balug:books_and_publications 2. http://www.berkeleylug.com/ 3. http://www.balug.org/ 4. http://www.buug.org/ From Michael.Paoli at cal.berkeley.edu Fri Mar 11 19:59:37 2016 From: Michael.Paoli at cal.berkeley.edu (Michael Paoli) Date: Fri, 11 Mar 2016 19:59:37 -0800 Subject: [buug] BALUG: Tu 2016-03-15 Meeting, Keysigning, Debian; & other BALUG News ...

Twitter https://twitter.com/#!/BALUG_org ------------------------------ For our 2016-03-15 BALUG meeting: 2016-03-15 Keysigning[1] and things Debian[2] For our 2016-03-15 meeting, we'll be doing Keysigning, and likely also be discussing things Debian and PGP[3]/GPG[4]/GnuPG[4]. We're expecting some Debian Developer (DD)[5] folk(s) and visitor from out of the area who is working along to becoming a Debian Maintainer (DM)[6]. So, if you want to do Keysigning, or learn more about PGP/GPG/GnuPG, or Debian, this would be quite relevant and useful meeting to attend to cover those areas. And in all cases too, you'd get to meet and talk with some cool Debian and Linux folks - good interesting conversations, good food ... :-) 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keysigning 2. https://www.debian.org/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian 3. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Good_Privacy 4. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Privacy_Guard 5. https://wiki.debian.org/DebianDeveloper 6. https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMaintainer So, if you'd like to join us please RSVP to: rsvp at balug.org **Why RSVP??** Well, don't worry we won't turn you away, but the RSVPs really help BALUG and our venue plan for the meeting and accommodations, so please let us know. 6:30pm Tuesday, March 15th, 2016 2016-03-15 Henry's Hunan Restaurant 110 Natoma St. (between 2nd & New Montgomery) San Francisco, CA 94105-3704 1-415-546-4999 http://www.henryshunanrestaurant.com/ Easy Transit/Parking Access: short walk from BART, MUNI, parking Trip planning: http://www.511.org/ Delicious Hunan cuisine and reasonably priced. 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 $13.00 to $17.50 range, and commonly around $15.00 to $16.50. Cash may be 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, ...). Please arrive by 7:00 P.M., we expect to order entrees at that time, and may order appetizer(s) and/or soup(s) anytime after 6:30 P.M. ------------------------------ We typically have various giveaway items at BALUG meetings. We'll likely have at least the below plus additional items. Books and other titles! 5 newly received titles, presently 7 titles total, have a look/read here: https://www.wiki.balug.org/wiki/doku.php?id=balug:books_and_publications http://lists.balug.org/pipermail/balug-talk-balug.org/2016-March/000035.html CDs/DVDs/ISOs, etc. - have a peek here: http://www.wiki.balug.org/wiki/doku.php?id=balug:cds_and_images_etc We may also be able to "burn" images per request or copy to USB flash, etc. Donations of blank or +-RW media, USB flash, or funding thereof, also appreciated. See the above URL for details (and the inventory (qty.) of what we specifically have "burned" and available on-hand does also frequently change). ------------------------------ Upcoming BALUG list changes?! Yes, for the past many years, much of BALUG, including our lists, has been and is still presently hosted on DreamHost.com. We expect to be changing that in the fairly near-term future - hopefully by about the end of this month or before next month's meeting, or so - in any case we'll update on status when that's about to change and when it does change. We'll provide more details as we approach and go through that transition, and we'll make it as painless as feasible. ------------------------------ help BALUG! :-) - volunteering, venue ...

I don't think I would want to actually get more than one or two; but I would like to look at each of them.      --  Nicholas -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
