>> 
LUGRadio 
- 
this 
one's 
from 
Britain 
and 
features 
four 
guys 
who 
have 
>> 
various 
perspectives 
on 
Linux(Jono 
is 
the 
Ubuntu 
Community 
Manager 
at 
>> 
Canonical). 
What's 
nice 
about 
this 
one 
is 
that 
they 
have 
more 
hosts 
and 
>> 
seem 
to 
delve 
deeper 
into 
the 
aspects 
of 
community, 
freedom, 
and 
the 
>> 
direction 
various 
open 
source 
software 
projects 
are 
going. 
They're 
also 
>> 
hosting 
LUGRadio 
Live 
at 
the 
Metreon 
with 
exhibits 
and 
speakers 
on 
April 
>> 
12-13th 
this 
year 
so 
that 
might 
be 
fun 
to 
check 
out. 

Glad you like the show!

>SF-LUG 
might 
wish 
to 
do 
more 
than 
just 
check 
them 
out.  
Here's 
an
>invitation 
from 
them 
to 
BALUG, 
which 
I'm 
sure 
is 
equally 
extended 
to
>other 
Bay 
Area 
LUGs:

Yes definately. I thought I'd sent an invite to SF-LUG but I thought I was subscribed to BALUG as well so what do I know!

If anybody is interested in exhibiting for SF-LUG or for any other Open Source/Free Software groups or projects drop us an email we'd love to have you. Dont be put off by the "fun and interactive" thing, while obviously we'd love all our exhibitors to have exciting attention grabing stands we do understand thats a lot easier for some projects then others.

Theres a list of speakers at http://lugradio.org/live/USA2008/

>As 
you 
may 
or 
may 
not 
be 
aware, 
the 
very 
first 
LugRadio 
Live 
USA 
in
>2008 
is 
taking 
place 
at 
The 
Metreon 
in 
San 
Francisco. 
The 
event 
will
>be 
happening 
on 
the 
12th 
and 
13th 
April 
2008, 
and 
will 
provide 
the
>unique 
atmosphere 
of 
the 
UK 
event, 
but 
in 
glorious 
San 
Francisco.
>LugRadio 
Live 
has 
developed 
a 
strong 
reputation 
for 
providing 
a 
range
>of 
topics 
about 
free 
software, 
Open 
Source, 
digital 
rights, 
technology
>and 
more, 
a 
compelling 
list 
of 
speakers, 
exhibitors 
and 
birds 
of 
a
>feather 
sessions, 
and 
wrapping 
it 
all 
in 
a 
unique, 
fun, 
loose, 
social
>and 
inclusive 
event, 
which 
is 
often 
described 
as 
combining 
the
>atmosphere 
of 
a 
rock 
concert 
and 
a 
computer 
conference.
>
>At 
LugRadio 
Live 
USA 
2008 
we 
plan 
on 
bringing 
this 
unique 
atmosphere
>to 
the 
USA, 
and 
inviting 
around 
30 
speakers, 
a 
full 
cast 
of 
exhibiting
>projects 
and 
companies, 
an 
eclectic 
range 
of 
BOF 
sessions, 
and 
plenty
>of 
additional 
sessions 
such 
as 
our 
debate 
discussion 
panel, 
a 
showcase
>of 
five 
minute 
talks, 
tech 
demos, 
and 
of 
course 
a 
live 
recording 
of
>LugRadio 
in 
front 
of 
an 
audience. 
We 
expect 
around 
500 
- 
700 
attendees
>to 
the 
event.
>
>Anyway, 
to 
the 
business 
in 
hand...

>As 
mentioned, 
we'll 
be 
having 
an 
exhibition 
area 
where 
we 
want 
to 
have
>projects 
and 
companies 
who 
do 
cool 
things. 
In 
the 
past 
we've 
had 
open
>source 
projects 
showing 
off 
their 
work 
such 
as 
KDE, 
Gnome, 
and 
Ubuntu,
>companies 
who 
work 
with 
Linux 
like 
Neuros, 
distributors 
like 
Sun, 
Red
>Hat 
and 
Novell, 
and 
also 
a 
range 
of 
user 
groups 
looking 
to 
publicise
>themselves 
to 
the 
community 
at 
large. 
We 
were 
wondering 
whether 
the
>Bay 
Area 
LUG 
would 
be 
interested 
in 
having 
an 
exhibition 
stand 
at 
the
>event 
this 
year?
>
>Exhibitor 
space 
is 
free; 
we 
don't 
charge, 
because 
LugRadio 
Live 
is 
a
>community 
event. 
The 
focus 
is 
on 
people 
having 
a 
great 
time, 
not 
in
>making 
money 
:-) 
We'd 
like 
it 
if 
your 
exhibition 
stand 
could 
be
>something 
fun 
and 
interactive, 
rather 
than 
just 
a 
table 
with 
leaflets
>and 
advertising.
>
>Another 
thing: 
as 
part 
of 
the 
event, 
we 
provide 
each 
attendee 
with 
a
>registration 
bag, 
containing 
some 
free 
items 
from 
different
>organisations. 
We 
try 
to 
keep 
the 
items 
in 
this 
bag 
as 
interesting 
as
>possible, 
and 
in 
the 
past 
this 
has 
included 
pens, 
badges, 
software,
>clothing 
and 
more. 
If 
you'd 
like 
to 
contribute 
something 
to 
the 
bag
>this 
year 
for 
LugRadio 
Live 
USA 
2008, 
we'd 
be 
happy 
to 
include 
it.
>Both 
the 
goodie 
bag 
and 
an 
exhibition 
stand 
are 
excellent 
ways 
for 
you
>to 
be 
associated 
with 
a 
strongly 
community 
and 
Open 
Source 
focused
>event, 
and 
the 
demographic 
it 
attracts. 
For 
the 
bag, 
we 
will 
need 
500
>of 
whatever 
you 
choose 
to 
contribute, 
and 
all 
you 
need 
to 
do 
is 
ship
>them 
to 
us, 
there 
is 
no 
charge 
in 
addition 
to 
sending 
the 
items 
- 
we
>will 
add 
them 
to 
the 
bags 
ready 
for 
the 
event.

>LugRadio 
Live 
in 
the 
UK 
has 
developed 
a 
strong 
reputation

community

in 
the 
UK, 
and 
we 
are 
looking 
to 
bring 
this 
to

We 
would 
love 
if 
you
