Bay Area Linux Events (BALE), <a href="http://linuxmafia.com/bale/" target="_blank">http://linuxmafia.com/bale/</a>, has correct<br>
dates for SVLUG, CABAL, and all other events as far as I'm aware.<br>
<br>
CABAL's home page, <a href="http://linuxmafia.com/cabal/" target="_blank">http://linuxmafia.com/cabal/</a> , has correct meeting<br>
dates for CABAL meetings.<br>
<br>
SVLUG's scheduling pages, <a href="http://www.svlug.org/" target="_blank">http://www.svlug.org/</a> ,<br>
<a href="http://www.svlug.org/meetings.php" target="_blank">http://www.svlug.org/meetings.php</a> , and <a href="http://www.svlug.org/installfest/" target="_blank">http://www.svlug.org/installfest/</a> ,<br>
have correct dates for SVLUG's upcoming events. The next several<br>
installfests are likely to be rescheduled, but have not yet been.<br>
(Thus, their dates are marked as tentative.)<br>
<br>
If and when SVLUG does screw up its own dates -- which has not happened<br>
for about a decade, and then was caught in two days -- you should please<br>
notify <a href="mailto:webmaster@svlug.org">webmaster@svlug.org</a>, to reach the Web Team mailing list.<br>
<br>
So, basically you're not talking about correcting wrong dates on BALE,<br>
or on SVLUG, or on CABAL. I would infer that you're talking about Bill<br>
Ward's effort.<br>
<br>
<br>
On a personal note, I find it vexing, Bill, that you keep<br>
referring to your Google Calendar as "Bay Area Linux Events", because<br>
doing so inevitably causes confusion such as the present example: I get<br>
"corrections" for things that aren't on BALE at all. This happens all<br>
the time. All the damned time -- a point I'll return to, below.<br>
<br>
BALE / Bay Area Linux Events has been around and had that name since<br>
1997 (with, admittedly, a period when it had only its extensive group<br>
descriptions active and no links to dated events, because of a subtle<br>
MySQL glitch that it took a long time to find). It would seem to me to<br>
be common courtesy, Bill, for you to pick a different name for your<br>
thing over at Google.<br>
<br>
Because, for now, every time we see this sort of thing happen -- and it<br>
happens A LOT -- I get pissed off at you for inconsiderate behaviour.<br>
<br>
Meanwhile, Sameer, if _you_ would please alter, e.g.,<br>
<a href="http://opensource.sfsu.edu/node/491" target="_blank">http://opensource.sfsu.edu/node/491</a> to _not_ refer to Bill Ward's<br>
calendar as "Bay Area Linux Events", I would be personally grateful.<br>
Thanks.<br>
