For our 2022-06-21 (3rd Tuesdays) BALUG meeting, we have:

Discussion, etc.:
o DNS add/drop zones dynamically (Michael Paoli, with mini-demo on
  BIND9)
o other topics as folks wish to discuss, stories to share, etc.

    6:00pm Tuesday, June 21st, 2022 2022-06-21

    In-person:
    Henry's Hunan Restaurant
    110 Natoma St. (between 2nd & New Montgomery)
    San Francisco, CA 94105-3704
    1-415-546-4999
    https://www.hhunan.com/ https://www.hhunannatoma.com/
    Delicious Hunan cuisine and reasonably priced.
    Easy Transit/Parking Access: short walk from BART, MUNI, parking
       Trip planning:  http://www.511.org/

    Virtual:
    https://meet.jit.si/BALUG.org Dial-in numbers also available at the
    URL.
    Please use earbud(s)/headphone(s) or mute yourself to avoid audio
    feedback issues, also please if you have background sound/noise
    issues mute yourself when not talking.
    Generally works quite fine with reasonably modern Firefox
    Chrome/Chromium, Microsoft Edge, possibly others (requires WebRTC
    https://webrtc.org/
    (Wikipedia: WebRTC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebRTC)
    (can also do some testing here: https://test.webrtc.org/ Probably
    don't worry about minor items like "Reflexive connectivity" )), from
    desktop, laptop, tablet, smart phone, etc.

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, ...). Punctual arrival
     recommended for optimal dining experience, as we expect to be
     ordering at that time.
     At approximately 7:00 P.M. we start our presentation/talk, or more
     informal talk/discussion if we don't have a particularly
     presentation/talk/presenter or special guest arranged.
