Ron's suggested font-size works visibly quite well at least using FF,
Waterfox, Librewolf, and Brave browsers for the alpha draft

Putting up a small suggestion, instead of the top section as...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
virtual:
https://meet.jit.si/sf-lug.org (most any non-ancient browser that well
supports WebRTC<link>, officially supported<link>)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.... could save a few characters and even remove ambiquity by doing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
virtual:
https://meet.jit.si/sf-lug.org (non-ancient browsers supporting
WebRTC<link>, officially supported here<link>)

and since IIRC those meeting-called "occasions" haven't really
materialized in ages, could tighten-up the following
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SF-LUG meetings are the first Sunday of the month, 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM.
Occasionally we may call a meeting at some other place or time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

with
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SF-LUG meetings are generally held on the first Sunday of each month, from
11:00 AM to 1:00 PM.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Referring to Michael's query "Also, thinking of simplification, is there
even any need/reason to have job posting policy on the main web page?"
from
http://linuxmafia.com/pipermail/sf-lug/2026q1/016200.html
.... could maybe also eventually remove the entire below section(?)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
, except:
Job Postings: current policy is job posters use email to submit job
postings to jim at well dot com and jim will post your listing to the
sf-lug mailing list. Postings should include the job title, salary range,
and city in which the job is located in the first sentence. Five
paragraphs, no hyperbole, just a to-the-point job description and skills
requirements list with company policies and benefits followed by contact
information. ASCII only, no Word doc files.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
