From pete-perl at peterbenjamin.com Thu Apr 7 13:41:17 2005 From: pete-perl at peterbenjamin.com (Peter Benjamin) Date: Thu Apr 7 14:03:47 2005 Subject: [LA.pm] Super User Group meeting at USENIX '05 Message-ID: <6.1.2.0.2.20050407133156.09c10c90@peterbenjamin.com> All of next week, the USENIX '05 Annual Technical Conference (ATC) is in town. All Computer Society members are invited to be part of a special "Super User Group" meeting on Wednesday, April 13, from 2030 until 2230 (8:30 to 10:30 pm) at the Marriott Anaheim. For details see, The meeting will be a rare opportunity and treat for all computer user groups in the area -- regardless of software affiliation -- to congregate under one roof. It will truly be an event where the elite meet to geek, and a rare opportunity to network with all kinds of people who we normally wouldn't want living near us. Immediately prior to the meeting, in the same conference room, the UnixRabbi ("America's Favorite Rabbi Comic") will lead a fun-filled session called "Unix as a Day Job" that will serve as the warm-up to the Super User Group meeting. The UnixRabbi is president of the Unix Users Association of Southern California. All night-time events are free admission to all, do not require USENIX membership, and there is no drink minimum or age limit enforced. But you will likely have to pay for parking, so arrange a carpool and bring your friends.
