I agree, the redirect should stay for good, since SVLUG is so commonly pointed into it's hard to say how many sites have "building 9" pointed at directly that way.

We already do. That's been there for years. I just didn't list it in the summary. But it's on the page. http://www.svlug.org/directions/cisco-9-drive-south.shtml#87-downtown Though you've gotten ahead of me. I was thinking for next month's meeting, when the BART SFO/Millbrae extension is supposed to be open, to add a separate page for "fly-in" directions from all the airports, airline and general aviation, using driving or transit from the airports. As a cleanup item, I should also add a note to the beginning of all sets of directions that will refer anyone to a different page... "If you are printing this set of directions, you'll also need [pages/links]." We'll also have some changes coming up in October. I noticed that VTA's announcement of their massive cutbacks actually has a huge *improvement* for SVLUG. All the buses from Fremont BART will be combined into one line that stops at the Great Mall and ends at Baypointe (which is 1/2 mile from Bldg 9 and 1 mile from Bldg J.) The buses previously went to central Milpitas or downtown SJ, both with inconvenient transfers to get anywhere near SVLUG. They were trying to make it so people have to jump on the light rail to get to downtown - but they'll practially drop people off at SVLUG. So that'll improve access to SVLUG for members from the East Bay - return buses should run late and non-stop to Fremont BART too.

Alternatively, if one of our members were to write up a sufficiently detailed article poking the pins in them, we can add it to the left-hand side list of writeups. There's some pretty dusty ones on there right now because there haven't been enough recent ones to push them off the scroll. Now, Rick Moen just posted this silly little gilbert-and-sullivan "I am the Very Model of a Modern SCO Executive" to the CABAL list. I'm sure something of the spirit can be put together by someone. :D > I also found references to Caldera in... > $ cd /home/httpd/html > $ find . -type f | xargs grep -li caldera > ./2001-06/mjr.2001-06-13.015 > ./RCS/farm.shtml,v > ./RCS/sponsors.shtml,v > ./RCS/linuxlinks.shtml,v > ./RCS/linux-security.shtml,v > ./events/RCS/tea-party-199811.shtml,v > ./tech-notes/RCS/dists-2.2-locs.shtml,v > ./events/tea-party-199811.shtml > ./events/tea-party-199811-kluft > ./events/tea-party-199811-merlin > ./events/tea-party-199811-kluft.shtml > ./events/tea-party-199811-merlin.shtml > ./events/tea-party-199811-marti > ./events/tea-party-199811-marti.shtml > ./events/tea-party-199811-moen.shtml > ./events/tea-party-199811-moen I think it can stay in the historicals. > ./farm.shtml Margaret Wendall has helped chased down some of the dusty links on the linkfarm; I can apply some of those cleanups too.

(It was late last night when this > was finished.) But it was lynx-clean before I split it up. Not bad, minor tweaks. I ficed all the "up to intro" links so they work; they were pointing at the intro page as if it were in the docroot. After we get past the general mass of links from rel= entries (which lynx happily displays all smushed together) thinks look pretty good. My first thought is it might behave better if we use   in them. But, I worry if this disturbs SGML browsers which use the chapter links? So, I simply used this as a warning that things are pointing to #tags that don't exist or are really on a different sub-page than you must have originally planned. Unfortunately the into page itself still looks pretty odd, unless we introduce a #tag on it too and make the redirect go there. What do you think? Added targets: cisco-9-transit.shtml#transit cisco-9-bike.shtml#bike Fixed targets to correct subfile: page/section cisco-9-drive-sw.shtml#west-valley, "directions for Santa Clara" "alternate directions for Sunnyvale" line wrap problem here, based on PRE lineup: Building 9 is at Cisco's East Tasman campus, on East Tasman Dri ve, I tweaked it so it fits, by merging the crosstreets description into one line.

Of course we have airport directions :) which are useful to the speakers we have come in from wherever. I had been thinking more along the lines that we don't usually have herds of penguins flying in to see these talks, so splitting it off didn't make sense yet. But yes, if they're going to get that complicated, then sure, give it another page when you're ready. May as well add Reid-Hillview private airport, with a general suggestion that San Jose is much closer. A pal of mine who's a private pilot (though he sold his small plane sometime during the boom for an ok profit - he'd gotten the twin-engine hours he wanted) preferred to land at Reid-Hillview because the fees there are cheaper and there's no competing commercial traffic. > As a cleanup item, I should also add a note to the beginning of all sets > of directions that will refer anyone to a different page...

They'll have to fire someone for making it more useful during cutback season. It'll probably slightly improve our attendance; I'll mention it to the linuxdojo (Hayward LUG) folks when the change drops in.

So for hosting the server, Google has earned credit for their help. Along the same lines though, VA should continue to be credited for the years of help they gave SVLUG, even though none of us knows anyone there any more (or so it seems.) It should take an explicit decision "for cause" for a sponsor to get de-listed. SCO was an obvious example.

There is no one left there, outside of San Mehat (who you may not know) The sponsorship more or less died with VA Linux. The machine was only left there because they didn't want to piss me off :) The day I was gone was the day they asked me when I was going to take the server away. Incidently, the person who made that decision was resigned recently. > It should take an explicit decision "for cause" for a sponsor to get > de-listed. SCO was an obvious example. Sure.

To this, I must ask you to please provide a URL which you are looking at? Our events page is only used to add special events, not meetings, under the current configuration, and we don't have any *special* events planned for the summer quite yet. Our Speaker Coordinators are *very* good about keeping http://www.svlug.org/meetings.shtml up to date, and our web team keeps the "spinner" on the main index page (http://www.svlug.org) up to date as well. So getting news about the meetings should be rather easy. . | .

Message-ID: This may seem like a dumb question - but is Microsoft giving refunds for people who buy PC's and don't use Windoze? (like me obviously) I've been scouring the web, and the latest update was from 1999 - you guys had that Refund Day demonstration that was ultimately unsuccessful. I also heard of one guy in Australia who actually got a refund, but that's it. So I figure, the answer must be obvious - so obvious that nobody's bothered to write it down for the clueless like me. Either MS gives refunds - everybody knows that! it's easy! ...or, MS never gives refunds! Everybody knows that! Don't even think about it! If you came right out and said it, explicitly, on your page about Windows Refund Day, just one sentence, that would be cool! Thanks! -- ________________________________________________________________ (Feb 26) It is expected that coverage of the forthcoming Iraqi campaign will be identical with the coverage used during Desert Storm. Shots of GIs must show a mixed racial combination - any interviews must reflect the youthful and idealistic, not the cynical point of view - the liberation of happy, enthusiastic Iraqis can be best shown by filming crowds of cheering citizens waving American flags. Also indicated would be pictures of photogenic GIs fraternizing with Iraqi children and handing them food or other non-controversial presents - of course, pictures of dead US military personnel are not to be shown and pictures of dead Iraqi soldiers should not show examples of violent death - also indicated would be brief interviews with English-speaking Iraqi citizens praising American liberation efforts - all such interviews must be vetted by either the White House or Pentagon before public airing. - from internal memos recently leaked from big-media company ________________________________________________________________ From marc_news at merlins.org Sun Jun 29 23:32:45 2003 From: marc_news at merlins.org (Marc MERLIN) Date: Sat Apr 2 14:56:48 2005 Subject: [web-team] [Officers] Linux Users Group Question Message-ID: <20030630063244.GA3961@merlins.org> ----- Forwarded message from Kevin Lebo ----- From: "Kevin Lebo" To: Importance: Normal X-Spam-Status: No, hits=0.0 required=5.0 tests=none version=2.21 X-Spam-Level: Cc: Subject: [Officers] Linux Users Group Question X-SA-Do-Not-Run: Yes X-SA-Exim-Rcpt-To: marc@merlins.org X-SA-Exim-Mail-From: officers-bounces+merlin=svlug.org@lists.svlug.org X-SA-Exim-Scanned: No; SAEximRunCond expanded to false To whom it may concern: My name is Kevin Lebo and the reason I am writing you today is because we have begun the process of forming our own LUG here in the Mid-Ohio Valley (specifically Parkersburg, West Virginia). I'm looking at the website for the Silicon Valley Linux Users Group and thinking how great it would be if we could even have half the success of your organization. There are only ten of us starting off and we have some ideas of how to market ourselves and conduct our meetings but I'm looking to find out from some established LUGs if there are any startup tips your organization might be able to provide us with.
