Our Linux & BSDiscussion meets every Wednesday from 6 PM to 8 PM in the Turing classroom. [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing Alan Turing]] It is an informal meeting sponsored by the San Francisco Linux User's Group [http://www.sf-lug.org SF-LUG.ORG] and is wide open to any ideas relating to using the various [http://www.gnu.org GNU]/[http://www.kernel.org Linux]-based and [ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/src/share/misc/bsd-family-tree BSD]-based operating systems]. We are not limited to, but do enthusiastically encourage:
Hello. And Bye.
 
* Sharing the latest software releases
* Installations
* Helping new users and converts
* Hardware investigation
* Configuration
* Troubleshooting
* Reviving old computers and making them better with Linux, *BSD and other Open-Source Software
 
We started meeting weekly in mid-October, 2009 and have had a group develop who steadily attend.

Believe it or not, Linux events also happen outside the city borders.  For the adventuresome, two good lists of such far away events are available from visiting websites [http://linuxmafia.com/bale/ linuxmafia.com] and [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/UserGroupContacts/Groups#SF wiki.ubuntu.com].
 
This handy [http://web.archive.org/web/20100407081537/http://www.athensmusician.net/archive/2005-02-13_oragamicdholder.php folding method to protect CDs] has come in handy for some of us.
