[SGVLUG] Meeting (1/14) recap

[Lan Dang]

Hi all,
tl;dr Announcements for SCALE, Ubucon, Repair Cafe.  Great material on DNSSEC from Carlos with quite a lot of questions being asked.  Check him out at SCALE on Sunday morning.  


* Reminder that SCALE is next week at the Pasadena Convention Center on Jan 21-24.  If you haven't registered yet, you can use the discount code "SGVLG" to get 50% off the $85 admission fee.

* LUG was great.  I think we peaked at around 26 people.  Carlos had a lot of great material on DNSSEC and there were a lot of questions flying around.  He got plenty of feedback.  Michael Starch showed off his car hack--well, a contingent of LUG went out to the parking lot to check it out.  There were a lot of great conversations after the meeting.  

The nice thing about meeting at a 24-hour restaurant is that you can sit in a nice warm place and have your drinks refilled as you talk for hours.  

Our waitress is named Margot.  Tip her generously.  She may seem a bit frazzled, but the room gets reserved, we get our orders taken, and we get our separate checks without having to make a fuss with the manager.  And, as I mentioned, we get our drinks refilled right up to when we leave.
