Sorry for leaving this off; however, our meetings are the same day of the month (third Thursday) every month--even when we change venues. You might even say it's so regular you could set a calendar alarm for it ;^) -Guy From sigje at sigje.org Thu Jan 15 16:57:21 2009 From: sigje at sigje.org (Jennifer Davis) Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2009 16:57:21 -0800 (PST) Subject: BayLISA January Monthly Meeting In-Reply-To: <25886BC4-7E9A-4286-95AD-EA80F69A8A7A@extragalactic.net> References: <25886BC4-7E9A-4286-95AD-EA80F69A8A7A@extragalactic.net> Message-ID: <20090115165542.S20567@slick.sigje.org> Ariel Velasco and Karandeep Bains from Splunk will be attending tonight as well (bringing along some spiffy Splunk shirts). After Guy's tutorial, if you have any questions/suggestions/requests of Splunk, they can pass them on to the appropriate people at Splunk. On Wed, 14 Jan 2009, Guy B.
