Did you used to be on our email list and suddenly haven't gotten email for months?  We had a glitch and it caused many people to get unsubscribed; unfortunately Tina doesn't have a way of https://ycharts.com/indices/%5ESPXTR/ytd_returnknowing who all we lost.  Please use "Linux mailing list" on the left to get yourself re-added, sorry!

Also, thank you for your efforts at our fall trash cleanup.  The Public Works Department gave these summary measures of the city-wide efforts:  "Over 620 pounds of litter was collected by A Litter Bit Better volunteers during the fall event. An estimated 1.179 volunteers picked up 64 sites that covered many locations around Rochester."  This was 12 loads of trash, removed from our environment!

In December we do something like board or card games, video games, etc because it's just too close to Thanksgiving and Christmas to fit in a social and a speaker.


Tollefoto is hosting a gaming night at his house.  Email him or Tina if you need address and/or directions.  Start time is 6:00 pm.  Note that this is NOT our usual second Thursday, we pushed it back one night so people don't have to deal with getting to work in the morning.


Dinner will be pulled chicken, barbecue sauces, and buns, water, and lemonade.
=== Virtual Technical Meeting or Social: Thursday January 9th, 2025 ===
6 pm


We play whatever you bring.  Please consider bringing board games to play, snacks and/or drinks.  RSVP's of the types of stuff you're bringing would be appreciated so we don't have overstocks of some items (such as everyone bringing chips).
