BerkeleyLUG meetup this Sunday 2024-12-22

[Aaron]

Hey all,
Fairly-delayed reminder here of the second Berkeley Linux User Group meetup of the month, first one of the Winter Season, and last one of the year.
Both the virtual and in-person physical meetups start at 11:00am PST this Sunday, December 22nd and go to 2:00pm or however late people want to participate.
Please see the currently available meetup schedule at https://berkeleylug.com/meetings graciously provided by Michael P for further BerkeleyLUG meetup details.

Am informed that due to Cal's Winter Break, SoDoI Coffee Tasting House will be closed until mid-January.  While Caffe Strada is nearby and available for the in-person meetup throughout the Winter Break, would rather prefer visiting West Berkeley's Philz Coffee for this particular meetup.
Philz Coffee Berkeley
1313 9th St, Ste 110
Berkeley, CA 94710
(510) 809-0182
+ Location's webpage is https://philzcoffee.com/locations/38
+ Writeup on Yelp is https://www.yelp.com/biz/philz-coffee-berkeley-12
+ An OpenStreetMap.org link for locating Philz Coffee Berkeley is https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/37.879529/-122.298040

Some negatives:
- While Philz Coffee's coffees are excellent, they are somewhat on the more expensive side
- Indoor seating and table-space is fairly-limited, so would expect that meetup participants (including myself!) should limit the amount of computer equipment brought along
- While local students are on their Winter Breaks, Philz Coffee Berkeley could expect heavier crowds than usual of persons visiting the area for the upcoming Xmas Holiday as well as last-minute Holiday shoppers to the surrounding Gilman Business and Fourth Street Shopping Districts.

Cheers and Happy Holdays!
