[sf-lug] Meeting Monday evening 15 November

[Eric Walstad]

It sounds like the meeting was a good time.  I started this year with
the intention of making it to more [P|L]UG meetings but family and
work have taken priority.  Anyhow, I appreciate hearing about the
meetings and learning second-hand.  Thanks for taking the time to
write up the summary.

Eric.
