Twitter https://twitter.com/#!/BALUG_org Upcoming BALUG list changes! ------------------------------ For our 2017-06-20 BALUG meeting discussion topic: Debian 9 "Stretch" (note also RSVP policy): At least presently we don't have a specific speaker/presentation lined up for this meeting, but that doesn't prevent us from having interesting and exciting meetings and discussions, and we do have at least one suggested discussion topic, so we'll likely cover at least some of that and very possibly other/additional topics folks may bring up at the meeting. Our suggested topic for this meeting: the newly released (as of 2017-06-17) Debian[1] 9.0.0 "Stretch"[2]. I also have Debian 9.0.0 "Stretch" ISO images and expect I'll have those and some more at the meeting, and also at least some "burned" to optical media. We also manage to sometimes secure/confirm a speaker too late for us to announce or fully publicize the speaker (that's happened at least twice in the past). Got questions, answers, and/or opinions? We typically have some expert(s) and/or relative expert(s) present to cover Linux and related topic areas. Want to hear some interesting discussions on Linux and other topics? Show up at the meeting, and feel free to bring an agenda if you wish. Want to help ensure BALUG has speakers/presentations lined up for future meetings? Help refer speakers to us and/or volunteer to be one of the speaker coordinators. Great food and people, and interesting conversations to be had. 1. https://www.debian.org/ 2. https://www.debian.org/News/2017/20170617 As was decided unanimously at the 2017-03-21 BALUG meeting, we updated the RSVP policy - in short, if you want to be sure there's a meeting to go to, be sure to send your RSVP in time for us to receive it by not later than 5pm of date of meeting. Please RSVP to rsvp at balug.org if you're planning to attend, and also note our revised RSVP policy further below. Meeting kicks off at 6:30 P.M. - we start with meet and greet and chat and such, then proceed with dining around 7:00 P.M. for dinner - please arrive before 7:00 P.M. if you want to join us for dinner. RSVP Please RSVP if you're planning to attend. To do so please e-mail us a note to rsvp at balug.org indicating meeting date. If you'll be bringing additional guest(s) please let us know total number of folks you're RSVPing for. Also please let us know any special requirements or concerns you may have (e.g. if you have any particular dietary considerations, so that we might possibly be able to accommodate you, or if you won't be dining with us but do wish to otherwise join our meeting). IF WE'VE RECEIVED EXACTLY ZERO RSVPs BY 5:00 P.M. ON DATE OF MEETING, MEETING MAY BE CANCELLED WITH NO FURTHER NOTIFICATIONS. So, if we receive your RSVP in time, then there is a meeting, if we receive zero RSVPs in time, there may not be a meeting, so if you want to be sure there's a meeting to go to, be sure to send your RSVP in time for us to receive it by not later than 5:00 P.M. US/Pacific time on date of meeting. Host(s) and any speaker(s)/presenters will be presumed to be RSVPed yes, but will not be counted towards the total of RSVPs received even if they've explicitly RSVPed (hosts/speaker(s)/presenter(s) will be communicated with if meeting is cancelled for any reason). 6:30pm Tuesday, June 20th, 2017 2017-06-20 Henry's Hunan Restaurant 110 Natoma St. (between 2nd & New Montgomery) San Francisco, CA 94105-3704 1-415-546-4999 http://henryshunan.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 $20.00 range, and commonly around $15.00 to $17.00. 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.

I see. Atheists may not have "rules against lying," but humanists and people with value systems do! Regardless of religion, different personality types have different relationships with how far they'll lie to play along. I had suggested that if my wife wanted to baptize our child I would not stand up there and give the affirmations saying that I would raise him Christian. We decided to wait until they were old enough to choose for themselves. Sent from Mail for Windows 10 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
