Meeting Details...

Cost/Dining:
The meetings are always free, but dinner is not (unless you are our
guest speaker, in which case we also treat you to dinner). For
Henry's Hunan Restaurant, if folks are agreeable, we'll share and
dine "family" style, and split up the costs, and typical cost per
person including tax and tip (but not including beverages beyond
complementary tea) would be in the $15.00 to $31.00 range, and
commonly around $18.00 to $27.00. Cash preferred to ease splitting
up the check. One can also specifically order the dish(es) one
needs/prefers (e.g. for dietary considerations) - and we also
commonly order some dish(es) that may meet various dietary
considerations) (e.g. vegetarian, non-pork, ...). Please arrive by
7:00 P.M., we expect to order entrees at that time, and may order
appetizer(s) and/or soup(s) anytime after 6:30 P.M.

------------------------------

giveaways (& wanted), hardware, CDs/DVDs, books/publications, ...

likely have at least the below plus additional items.

Donations of blank or +-RW media, USB flash, or funding thereof,
also appreciated. See the above URL for details (and the inventory
(qty.) of what we specifically have "burned" and available on-hand does
also frequently change).

Hardware, etc. wanted/offered!
Got some (computer, etc.) hardware, etc. you're looking to give
away or acquire (or if not free, well below current fair market value),
and locally? We have a wiki page to list that - so ... see what's

Is this still on?  

Everything else seems to be cancelled.  So just wondering.  

Also I don't think it is possible to eat and wear a mask.

Maybe you should ask this on BALUG's forum, rather than BerkeleyLUG's.

http://www.balug.org/ says it's on, and features both tasty Hunan
cuisine and a talk/presentation by Michael Paoli on Dynamic Update of
DNS.

> Also I don't think it is possible to eat and wear a mask.

If you still possess N95-certified masks still sealed in their retail
wrapping, the ethical thing for you to do is take them post-haste to
medical facilities that really, really need them and, unlike you as a
non-symptomatic person, can actually _benefit_ from them. And it
wouldn't hurt to apologise for delay in doing so.

This is a no-joke moral imperative. Don't take my word for it: Trust

(Scroll down to 'When, if ever, should I buy or use a face mask?' since
it appears that the intra-page link is broken.)

No not sealed and I don't know what rating.  I just have a couple masks 
left from the fire times.  

On one of your forums, someone posted the Seattle doctor report on
this and it was very interesting about the spread from people who show 
no symptoms.   
For myself I don't know if it is just hypochondria or what but I cough 
a little.  No fever or anything else but there are people carrying the virus 
with little or no symptoms.  
I went to work Friday but left without starting just in case I'm a carrier.  
Maybe I'm making myself paranoid.  
Funny, my boss was trying to talk me into staying Friday as he was 
already one down, but he never got to withing 10 ft of me.  

Take care everybody and see you in a couple months, 

Thomas

Points to you for thoughtfulness, Thomas!

> Maybe I'm making myself paranoid.

Honestly, it's a difficult situation because of big uncertainties
remaining in what is scientifically known. A little extra caution is a
venal sin at worst.
