BayLISA tomorrow 17 Jul, 7:30pm

Wed Jul 16 16:10:53 PDT 2003

 This is a gentle reminder that BayLISA is meeting tomorrow night, the
 Third Thursday of the month ... the 17th.

 I suppose it's possible that by the time you read this it will mean
 tonight.

	WHERE:  in case there's any confusion.

		De Anza Bldg Three.  10500 N. De Anza, where
		that means "north" of Stevens Creek.  If that's
		really the direction you're coming from, pay 
		attention for the blue apples on the parking lot
		as you pass the Donut Wheel coffee shop.

		Most people would exit 280 Fwy at De Anza, turn south
		a very short block, turn Left at Mariani, right into the
		blue apples lot, and go around the building to the
		correct side.

	WHEN:	people always ask this, even though it's in the subject

		7:30 is when announcements and the like are supposed
		to start.

		People are welcome to show up as early as 7 pm.

		Things run officially until 9:30 pm.  In practice this
		nearly always means 10 pm.  A portion of the group
		typically goes to afterdinner nearby.

	WHAT:	Patch management!

		Chris Binns-Smith will be showing us all sorts of useful
		innards about the world of patch management.  This seems
		very germane to the world of BayLISA and I expect to
		learn quite a bit.

RFC == Request For Cookies
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Having determined that having snacks catered is costing us quite a bit 
  every month, we're going to experiment with going back to just plain 
  drinks and cookies.

  Any members who are so inclined are encouraged to bring snacks to
  share too.  They must not require bowls nor utensils.  If you bring
  something gooey like brownies, bring plates or napkins...

Membership Specials
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  We still have a summer membership special of One New Member Joining gets 
  his BayLISA Buddy a Free Renewal.  You have to be the same type of 
  individual membership, though... either Student (cheap!) or regular.

Did I miss anything?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  If I have forgotten something you feel is worthy of announcement, let
  the Wheels (blw at baylisa.org) know.

  August's speaker will be a member of the Samba Team.  Probably Jeremy
  Allison, but he reports that several of the core gurus will be in
  town, so we may have one specializing in a particular niche of Samba
  deployment -- and it's likely that a handful of them will attend, so
  there will be a lot of energy.  

  See you at BayLISA!
