+ SoDoI is located slightly West of Telegraph Ave in the parallel corridor of several stores between Durant and Channing, under parking structure

Unfortunately, will myself _again_ be unable to attend this BerkeleyLUG meetup :-\

I was unable to connect to the meeting: "no moderator."  I am reluctant to assign myself as a moderator.  I assume this means the meeting has not be attended.  This is unfortunate, as I had looked forward to attending.

Ah, sorry.

Well, in more recent years, meetings have typically tended to be
relatively small.
And if nobody joins on-line, well, then there's that.
With meet.jit.si, whomever first goes to connect to meeting, it will
want one to login
(if one has not already done so, and it gives multiple ways to login),
and first to join meeting is moderator (not really an issue so long as
moderator doesn't
abuse the privilege, and in practice with groups that are reasonably
well behaved,
hasn't been an issue).

And sometimes folks also tend to come and go from meetings - some may
get there early,
some may drift in and out, and some may stay past scheduled meeting time.

I haven't been attending so commonly more recently, but perhaps Aaron
and/or others
might want to update/comment on more current typical attendance, both
in-person and
on-line.

Thank you.  In the future, I should be more patient, and after a while, just log in if I can as moderator.  Probably I cannot.  So I'll just wait.  In person is better, but more problematic for us nocturnal beasts.
