Berkeley get-together (BAD + BUUG)

Cool!  The more the merrier, as far as I'm concerned.  I'm looking ahead
to the longer term, and to coaxing into existence a situation in which
the BAD Web pages can be made to reflect reality more closely without 
driving the key volunteers (like Mike) insane.

Without further comment on the matter of (near-nonexistent) lead time, I
applaud this.  If it'll help, I have a map-image for Au Coquelet, to go
with the directions I posted earlier:

Hmm.  Should be up and running.  I've just been too busy to post to it.
I've never really promoted it.  'Have plans for it, but haven't launched
them, yet.

Probably, most folks have already heard that song.  ;->  But there's 
a bunch about it on http://linuxmafia.com/cabal/installfest/
