[SlugLUG] Sluglug Digest, Vol 11, Issue 2

Tue Feb 6 00:05:25 PST 2007

Someone hasn't noticed that the rainy season has started - check
the weather reports. It's winter now! It normally rains in the winter,
even though this year we've had a dry January.

I'll pass on attending an outside installfest till the late spring.
We should try for the Jack's lounge area in Baskin. There is also
Internet access available, if someone gets that set up.

BTW the only installfests on campus last year (two of them) were
set up by another organization. Indoors, and well-prepared. Adam
Thompson and his organization did a great job!
