[sudo-discuss] Oakland Domain Awareness Center

[Ed Biow]

Thanks Marina, I wandered by today and talked to a few folks.  It does
seem like I chose a bad day to give up peyote enemas, there is even an
extra event scheduled.  I was told we could roll by and nose around,
since I'd already announced the meeting.  There is another group that
has a room adjoining the common area, but it wasn't clear if it was
going to be filled, as well (there was only one person there today, I
have a crummy memory, it is the room across from the entrance and a
little to the left). But if it looks too full and that we'll be under
foot too much I think we can just hoof it over to Farley's and I'll buy
all attendees a round or two to make up for my poor planning.

I did see the oaklandwiki entry, and it is excellent, I even linked
directly to it whenever I mentioned DAC on Occupy Oakland blurbs.

I might stroll by the membership meeting tomorrow just to say hello and
introduce myself.

Deep shimmering pools of respect,

Ed
