Hi, Nathan.

Please see the Shutgun Rules.

If YOU call it to be in San Francisco for April, then it
WILL be in San Francisco in April.

Send your ANNOUNCE out today.

According to Nathan Mellin,
> Anytime that BAD will be meeting in the city?
> I'd like to meet some of the Debian users where I'm a
> resident, I came over a year ago from a small country
> with a high debian population, and miss being brought
> up to date.  Fremont is a bit far, so I can't make it
> from work to there however maybe next time, how often
> are these meetings?  Monthly, any chance the next one
> will be in the city of SF?  Thanks,
