[sf-lug] expanding Europe's Linux Presentation Day to the US (Hauke L)

[jim]

     oh, Noisebridge is in the Mission district,
fairly central to the city and close to popular
transportation lines.
     It's got around 5000 square feet and has
claimed to be the largest hacker space in the
world (as I recall--it's a big space).
     It permits small conventions, mainly for
technology and the arts; I'm pretty sure they
would okay a Linux Presentation Day event.
