Our Linux & BSDiscussion meets every Wednesday from 6 PM to 8 PM in the Turing classroom. [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing Alan Turing]] It is an informal meeting sponsored by the San Francisco Linux User's Group [http://www.sf-lug.org SF-LUG.ORG] and is wide open to any ideas relating to using the various [http://www.gnu.org GNU]/[http://www.kernel.org Linux]-based and [ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/src/share/misc/bsd-family-tree BSD]-based operating systems]. We are not limited to, but do enthusiastically encourage:

* Sharing the latest software releases
* Installations
* Helping new users and converts
* Hardware investigation
* Configuration
* Troubleshooting
* Reviving old computers and making them better with Linux, *BSD and other Open-Source Software

We started meeting weekly in mid-October, 2009 and have had a group develop who steadily attend.

For other regular San Francisco Linux events see [http://www.sf-lug.org/ sf-lug.org] (twice per month), [http://www.balug.org/ balug.org] (monthly) and [http://opensource.sfsu.edu/ OLPC-SF] (monthly).

Believe it or not, Linux events also happen outside the city borders. For the adventuresome, two good lists of such far away events are available from visiting websites [http://linuxmafia.com/bale/ linuxmafia.com] and [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/UserGroupContacts/Groups#SF wiki.ubuntu.com].

This handy [http://web.archive.org/web/20100407081537/http://www.athensmusician.net/archive/2005-02-13_oragamicdholder.php folding method to protect CDs] has come in handy for some of us.
