ANNOUNCEMENT2: BAD mtg Wed Mar10 6P Berkeley, wifiWWBAD-HackathonAGoGo

[Hereon]

(Update to the potential location.)

The Wed March 10 Bay Area Debian meeting, 6PM ~ 10+PM, 2nd Wednesday,
will be at Oscar's Burgers in Berkeley, Corner of Shattuck & Hearst,
2 blocks north of University Avenue.

[Or, the meeting might be across the street at Berkeley Espresso, if we
can't get a decent wifi signal at Oscar's.  So, if you don't see the
meeting at Oscar's, check across the street, at BE.]

[Or, if you can't get to Berkeley for the meeting, join us via IRC. :) ]

Oscar's is a Burger Shakes & Fries joint.  Great flame broiled burgers, &
pineapple shakes.  :)

=========================================
All the usual suspects:  Free-form Debian meeting.  Talk about anything
of interest to people w/ an interest in Debian. Gnu, Linux, etc.

Well behaved persons of all ages, oldtimers, newtimers, firsttimers
welcome. :) Come by any time - you don't have to arrive at 6PM.

Whoever gets there first please make a Debian sign or swirl out of
materials available onsite.  :)

Plus: Another event filled episode in the "Bring a little BADness to the
entire world" series.  The World Wide BAD meeting & Hackathon-A-GoGo 
(We supply the hackfest, BYO GoGo person or mecha).

Extra Credit [This is optional.  I encourage you to join those of us
working on this, even if any of this is new to you.  Experienced
sys/wifi/IRC admins especially encouraged to join this effort.] -  

Bring your wifi'd laptop.  The World-Wide-BAD-Meeting.  As preparation
for the World Wide Gnu Linux Videoconference (see below) we'll set up an
IRC channel on irc.debian.org so people can join the meeting remotely. 
We'll also work on getting a local wifi'd IRC server running.
