Sysadmin Picnic 14 July, 11 am til evening.

Wed Jun 19 16:27:40 PDT 2002

  How well we know that a sysadmin's life is not a picnic.  However, once 
  a year, BayLISA holds an actual outdoor picnic for its members and their 
  colleagues.  Spouses and children are also welcome.

  WHEN:   next month
          Sunday
	  June 14th.

	  starting around 11 am...
	  	ending when the park closes.  The park is not open at
		night.

	  This makes it the weekend -before- BayLISA's regular monthly
	  meeting in July, rather than after.

  WHERE:  Oak Meadow Park
          Area 1
          Los Gatos

	  University Avenue & Blossom Hill Road.
	  	note.  This has no relation whatsoever to the 
			University Avenue found near Stanford, at
			least as far as I can tell.

          To get to Los Gatos in general:

	  To get to Oak Meadow, a map:
	  	http://www.bjwrr.org/bjwrr-map.html
		note.  Winchester Blvd is visible on the map, as is
			Hwy 9, so that should help place it.

  WHAT:   There will be --
  	* a large barbecue grill ... wide enough to keep meat and veggies
	  seperate.
	* power ... yes, and hubs too.
	* some drinks and miscellaneous barbecue/picnic type food ... if
	  you want to be sure what sort of food or drink arrives, bring 
	  some to share.
	* an installfest / installathon / performance tune-up party.
	* this park is also home to the Billy Jones Wildcat Railroad,
	  which can be ridden.

  INSTALLFEST YOU SAY?
  	As if you could keep this many sysadmins showing up at the same
	time from having their recent copies of OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Linux
	this or that, etc. on hand anyway.  Yes, it's an opportunity to
	pick the brains of your fellow admins, or mentor a few people
	yourself.  All while enjoying a burger or three.  

  Folks are welcome to bring whatever silly picnic toys they like.  We
  ask that you keep water toys pointed away from the electronic toys
  though.  Not too surprisingly, trons get way too excited when they get
  near water, and the computers don't like it much :(

  There will almost certainly be a Ham talk-in. 

  Hams expected to attend, or anybody volunteering to arrive with food
  and/or help with setup and teardown, are welcome to post their rsvp to
  the BayLISA Wheels (blw at baylisa.org).
