[albany-pm] Albany-pm Digest, Vol 50, Issue 7

Thu Dec 12 06:07:56 PST 2013

The local Linux User Group has been meeting at the EGL for most of the past
year.  It's a decent space, actually.  Internet speed is serviceable, and
the library staff and patrons leave us alone.

I've been meaning to write the group to notify about the Tech Valley
Tech-Group Holiday party.  I'm glad that Jerry mentioned it.

I'm already signed up, and it's been mentioned in a couple of the others
that I'm involved with (Ruby, Cocoaheads, Mobile-Devs, and Ops groups, off
the top of my head...).  It was a good time last year.
