Hello,
I've recently become involved in Debian [1], and several sponsors of my
packages have suggested that I apply for Debian Maintainer status. So
I'm looking to get the signatures of two or three DDs on my PGP key.
Unfortunately, there are no DDs near where I live. Fortunately, I'm
planning to visit San Francisco & Stanford University from the 15th to
the 19th of March.
Please let me know if there are any keysigning events planned, or if you
are a DD who would be interested in meeting me to exchange signatures.
Thanks.

Hello BALUG friends!
It's been a couple months since we've had an Ubuntu Hour in San
Francisco, but once again we've decided to sync up our San Francisco
Ubuntu Hour with the 2nd Wednesday of the month date of the Bay Area
Debian Meeting, to offer an evening of Ubuntu and Debian!
So this upcoming Wednesday, Decmber 9th, the plan is as follows:
First, from 6-7PM:
San Francisco Ubuntu Hour
Location: Starbucks, 74 New Montgomery Street
Details: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-california/3261-ubuntu-hour-san-franci…
Also on meetup: http://www.meetup.com/Ubuntu-California/events/227105090/
We'll have a signed copies of A Practical Guide to Ubuntu Linux,
Ubuntu Unleashed 2015 and The Official Ubuntu Book for a few lucky
attendees.
Then, from 7:10 onward many of us will go to the nearby...
Bay Area Debian Dinner
Location: Henry's Hunan Restaurant, 110 Natoma St., San Francisco
Details: http://bad.debian.net/pipermail/bad/2015-December/003704.html
So come out to the Ubuntu Hour and join us for dinner at the Bay Area
Debian Meeting!
To find us at both events, look for the people in the Linux shirts and
the Jessie (cowgirl) and Stretch (purple octopus) stuffed toys. At
both events we should have signs up on or near our table as well.
Feel free to contact me directly or on list if you have any questions.
Hope to see you there!

The Linux Users' Group of Davis (LUGOD) will be holding the following meeting:
Monday
December 21, 2015
7:00pm - 9:00pm
Presentation:
Amateur Radio (ham radio) with Linux - Roundtable
presented by Brian Lavender, Tony Cratz, Eric Engelhard, and Tim Thatcher
Amateur radio (also called ham radio) describes the use of radio
frequency spectra for purposes of non-commercial exchange of messages,
wireless experimentation, self-training, private recreation and
emergency communication. The term "amateur" is used to specify "a
duly authorised person interested in radioelectric practice with a
purely personal aim and without pecuniary interest;" (either direct
monetary or other similar reward) and to differentiate it from
commercial broadcasting, public safety (such as police and fire),
or professional two-way radio services (such as maritime, aviation,
taxis, etc.). (Source: Wikipedia.)
This roundtable presentation will cover various aspects of ham radio,
including licensing, ham related groups (e.g., Mt. Vaca Radio Club -
Yolo Amateur Radio Society) and activities, and of course, how to use
Linux with radio gear. Numerous open source tools and applications, as
well as dedicated Linux distros, exist for such purposes as logging,
browsing programming schedules, receiving and plotting Automatic
Packet Reporting System (APRS) position packets, spectral analysis,
repeater control, satellite tracking, and of course controlling a
ham radio. There are even apps for practicing and preparing for a
license exam.
It will also touch on other Linux-based software-defined-radio
hardware and software solutions, atmospheric radio propagation,
and solar/geomagnetic weather, and will include a introduction
to fldigi, wsjt-x and what it does and the JT modes it supports,
and predict/gpredict orbital tracking software and a little about
working satellites.
This meeting will be held at:
Yolo County Public Library, Mary L Stephens Davis Branch
Blanchard community meeting room
315 E. 14th Street
Davis, CA 95616

Hi all!
I am trying to compile SiS driver for my video card:

Forwarding from Nathan Handler's attempted posting to balug-announce.
As mentioned on the listinfo page
(http://lists.balug.org/listinfo.cgi/balug-announce-balug.org),
balug-announce is 'restricted to Bay Area Linux Users Group (BALUG)'s
own announcements to its members'. (So, don't do that please, Nathan.)
By the way, it's better to avoid CCing multiple mailing lists, as doing
so causes a variety of problems for listadmins.
