As I mentioned, I'm looking to get my key signed by two or three DDs so that I can apply to be a DM. Michael Paoli has suggested meeting at the March BALUG meeting for keysigning. I am very grateful for this suggestion, and I will be there, but I know that you are all very busy. So: 1) At the BALUG meeting, Tuesday 15th, 6:30pm, Henry's Hunan Restaurant or if you would prefer not to commit to a full LUG meeting: 2) Friday evening, March 18th, somewhere near the Stanford University CalTrain. Kindly reply off-list if you can meet me at either of these times. Thanks. -- Sean Whitton -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: <20160308213655.181769tbqk81z8cg@webmail.rawbw.com> Books[1], etc. for ... I've got 5 new titles I received 2016-03-03 (only qty. 1 or 2 of each) plus only two remaining titles I received earlier (and only qty. 1 of each of those remain). If you are or may be interested, see [1] I'll be attending both Ubuntu Hour San San Francisco[2] and Bay Area Debian (BAD)[3] meetings tomorrow. I'm not planning to schelp all 6 physical titles with me tomorrow, so depending what responses I see in email on the list(s) (and emailing me and not to any relevant list doesn't count) before I head out the door tomorrow morning, or if I see nothing relevant by then, I'll randomly select ... anyway, based upon whichever, I'll bring at least two physical titles with me, and up to a max of perhaps as many as 4. "Must be present to win" - I'm not going to hold books for people that don't make it to meetings - especially while denying said book(s) to those that do make it to meetings - so don't ask. So, if you want to get hold of one of these titles, from me, you need to actually make it to a meeting. If you don't manage to catch me at one of the meetings mentioned above, there are other opportunities in near future to similarly catch me[4], and potentially get such a title for yourself from me at some other future meeting. footnotes/references/excerpts: 1. https://www.wiki.balug.org/wiki/doku.php?id=balug:books_and_publications 2. http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-california/3328-ubuntu-hour-san-francisco/ 3. http://bad.debian.net/ http://bad.debian.net/shotgun_rules.txt http://bad.debian.net/pipermail/bad/2016-March/003735.html 4. e.g.: 2016-03-13 http://berkeleylug.com/meetings/ 2016-03-15 http://www.balug.org/#2016-03-15 2016-03-17 http://www.buug.org/ From itz at buug.org Tue Mar 8 21:47:33 2016 From: itz at buug.org (Ian Zimmerman) Date: Tue, 8 Mar 2016 21:47:33 -0800 Subject: Books[1], etc. for ...

I'm interested in the Knuth, but I'm not coming tomorrow. So, of course if anyone else takes it, it's theirs. I hope I can come to BALUG next week, so if you still have it then, please bring it.

Twitter https://twitter.com/#!/BALUG_org ------------------------------ For our 2016-03-15 BALUG meeting: 2016-03-15 Keysigning[1] and things Debian[2] For our 2016-03-15 meeting, we'll be doing Keysigning, and likely also be discussing things Debian and PGP[3]/GPG[4]/GnuPG[4]. We're expecting some Debian Developer (DD)[5] folk(s) and visitor from out of the area who is working along to becoming a Debian Maintainer (DM)[6]. So, if you want to do Keysigning, or learn more about PGP/GPG/GnuPG, or Debian, this would be quite relevant and useful meeting to attend to cover those areas. And in all cases too, you'd get to meet and talk with some cool Debian and Linux folks - good interesting conversations, good food ... :-) 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keysigning 2. https://www.debian.org/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian 3. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Good_Privacy 4. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Privacy_Guard 5. https://wiki.debian.org/DebianDeveloper 6. https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMaintainer So, if you'd like to join us please RSVP to: rsvp at balug.org **Why RSVP??** Well, don't worry we won't turn you away, but the RSVPs really help BALUG and our venue plan for the meeting and accommodations, so please let us know. 6:30pm Tuesday, March 15th, 2016 2016-03-15 Henry's Hunan Restaurant 110 Natoma St. (between 2nd & New Montgomery) San Francisco, CA 94105-3704 1-415-546-4999 http://www.henryshunanrestaurant.com/ Easy Transit/Parking Access: short walk from BART, MUNI, parking Trip planning: http://www.511.org/ Delicious Hunan cuisine and reasonably priced. Meeting Details... Cost/Dining: The meetings are always free, but dinner is not (unless you are our guest speaker, in which case we also treat you to dinner). For Henry's Hunan Restaurant, if folks are agreeable, we'll share and dine "family" style, and split up the costs, and typical cost per person including tax and tip (but not including beverages beyond complementary tea) would be in the $13.00 to $17.50 range, and commonly around $15.00 to $16.50. Cash may be preferred to ease splitting up the check. One can also specifically order the dish(es) one needs/prefers (e.g. for dietary considerations) - and we also commonly order some dish(es) that may meet various dietary considerations) (e.g. vegetarian, non-pork, ...). Please arrive by 7:00 P.M., we expect to order entrees at that time, and may order appetizer(s) and/or soup(s) anytime after 6:30 P.M. ------------------------------ We typically have various giveaway items at BALUG meetings. We'll likely have at least the below plus additional items. Books and other titles! 5 newly received titles, presently 7 titles total, have a look/read here: https://www.wiki.balug.org/wiki/doku.php?id=balug:books_and_publications http://lists.balug.org/pipermail/balug-talk-balug.org/2016-March/000035.html CDs/DVDs/ISOs, etc. - have a peek here: http://www.wiki.balug.org/wiki/doku.php?id=balug:cds_and_images_etc We may also be able to "burn" images per request or copy to USB flash, etc. Donations of blank or +-RW media, USB flash, or funding thereof, also appreciated. See the above URL for details (and the inventory (qty.) of what we specifically have "burned" and available on-hand does also frequently change). ------------------------------ Upcoming BALUG list changes?! Yes, for the past many years, much of BALUG, including our lists, has been and is still presently hosted on DreamHost.com. We expect to be changing that in the fairly near-term future - hopefully by about the end of this month or before next month's meeting, or so - in any case we'll update on status when that's about to change and when it does change. We'll provide more details as we approach and go through that transition, and we'll make it as painless as feasible. ------------------------------ help BALUG! :-) - volunteering, venue ... You can do useful and cool stuff volunteering to help BALUG, e.g. following up on many leads for possible venue, among many other possibilities. Quite a variety of opportunities to help BALUG. Come talk to us at a meeting and/or drop us a note at: balug-contact at balug.org These opportunities may include, among other possibilities: o venue arrangement (e.g. followup on potential leads on-site coordination/preparations), see also: http://lists.balug.org/pipermail/balug-admin-balug.org/2014-July/001504.html o chief/assistant cat herder o assist on speaker coordination/procurement, etc. o assist on publicity o Linux Systems Administration (e.g. do/assist/learn, with/under some quite experienced and skilled Linux systems administrator(s)). o webmaster, assistant webmaster, designer, graphic artist o archivist/history/retrieval/etc. o and other various/miscellaneous tasks BALUG would like to be doing (also feel free to suggest ideas!) ------------------------------ Twitter - you can also follow BALUG on Twitter: https://twitter.com/#!/BALUG_org ------------------------------ Feedback on our publicity/announcements (e.g. contacts or lists where we should get our information out that we're not presently reaching, or things we should do differently): publicity-feedback at balug.org ------------------------------
