at the Cafe Enchante, on Geary at 26th in San Francisco.

SF-LUG is a discussion group that focuses on Linux and related open source technologies and news. We often have some great talks together. It's different from listening to a lecture and often more fun (we each get to talk). Topics vary from meeting to meeting, free form, sometimes with multiple simultaneous topics ranging from communities to technologies, including Linux, the Gnu toolkit, Free and Open Source Software (FOSS), freeBSD, Mac OSX, and Solaris.
