... and their lack of reponse, it would appear that the 8/13
meeting is /it/, that is, the only BAD meeting close to Debian's 
10th Anniversary planned in the Bay Area. (other
celebrations: see http://www.debconf.org/10years/)

So I propose that we designate it The 10th Anniversary
Celebration.  Or if those at the meeting want something
bigger for the 16th[3], that would be a good time to plan it.  

Hopefully more folks will join in in honor of the occasion, 
including folks who are friendly to Debian but not members of 
BAD, such as members of regional Linux and BSD LUGs  (dammit, 
where's my swirl hat)  

Now that bad.debian.net is back up (thanks, uh, who? Mike?  
damn we take these things for granted) perhaps we can get that
updated to show the 8/13 meeting and get the word out.

I submitted to eblug.org .
