====== Books and Publications, etc. ======

It's fairly common for some books/publications, etc. to be made available at [[http://www.balug.org/|BALUG]] and other User Group meetings.

These below are currently (subject to availability and/or request) brought by Michael Paoli and/or others to
[[http://www.balug.org/|BALUG]]
and some other user group meetings
(e.g.
[[http://www.buug.org/|Berkeley Unix User Group (BUUG)]],
[[http://bad.debian.net/|Bay Area Debian (BAD)]],
[[http://www.berkeleylug.com/|Berkeley Linux Users Group]],
[[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hour|Ubuntu Hour]] [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/UbuntuHours|(San Francisco & Berkeley)]],
and sometimes [[http://www.sf-lug.com/|San Francisco Linux Users' Group (SF-LUG)]]
and others).\\
Other folks may also bring (some of) these and/or additional books, publications, etc.

Want to increase your odds of getting one of these books?  :%%%%-)\\
I'll consider these factors:
  * make it to the meeting (that's where I generally give the book(s) away for some person(s) in the user group)
  * drop a note to the relevant [L]UG's (talk/discussion) list regarding which title(s) you're interested in (in preference order if more than one), (and for what (noble) purpose(s)) (and preferably reasonably in advance of the meeting - e.g. I may opt not to schlep book(s) with me if no one has expressed interest in them before I pack for my trek to the meeting - which may be rather early in the morning if I'm doing other stuff (e.g. work) before meeting and may head straight to meeting after that)
  * make it to the meeting on time (or best approximations thereof)
  * which such note(s) of interest are posted earliest/earlier to list
