Instead of our usual format, where we bring in a speaker to present on a particular topic, we will have an open agenda format where we can brainstorm and discuss the future of PenLUG, how you can participate, and how we can collaborate better with other LUGs. Anyone who has any Linux-related topics to share - your latest discovery, questions, or whatever - please bring it! Location as usual will be Twin Pines Park in Belmont. The meeting starts at 7pm, Thursday January 25. Refreshments (beverages and pizza) courtesy of Open Country. Free book giveaway (including earlybird drawing for those who are present at 7 sharp!). We will return to our regular format next month with a presentation by Gumstix.
