[ale] Dec 20 Global Linux & All Free SW HW Culture meeting - BerkeleyTIP

[john_re]

Hi Jim , & ALE - Good news: at last I had time to get the announcements out about a week ahead of time (5 days), rather than the typical 1 day in advance, if at all, recently.  The more notice, the more people likely to attend.  I hope you all can join with us later today.  :)

1) IRC channel - #berkeleytip on freenode.irc.net  - That is the place to start.  If noone is there yet, wait & someone should be there shortly.  I try to be there at or before the meeting, but sometimes I run late.

2) Probably you meant the VOIP, not vid conf.  We have talk videos I find each month - the latest talks from LUGs, or other free sw hw or clulture groups.  Those are listed on the talks page, & people can dl them befroe the meeting, watch them, & discuss them at the meeting.

We don't have video conference capability yet, & haven't tried to yet.  

We do have global VOIP, & have had attendees from europe, mideast & USA.

3) Have you joined the BTIP mail list yet?  You're invited.  Say hi, & let us know what we  can help you with.

:)
