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,
