[sf-lug] SF-LUG meets Sunday January 7, 2018

[Bobbie Sellers]

Sorry,
I forgot one line, LUG members and that was that if
the distributions marked with a asterisk like this*
were something that interested you left me know if
you want a copy by Friday.  If you want the distros
mentioned but unmarked then you should let me
know by Wednesday.
