| 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 knowing who all we lost. Please use "Linux mailing list" on the left to get yourself re-added, sorry!

| We're going to hang out at the Machine Shed, thanks go to Mark D for the idea. Here is some [http://k-lug.org/images/2/2b/MachineShed201611.pdf recent advertising from the local newspapers].
| |
| | |
| From [https://www.facebook.com/machineshedrochester/posts/ their Facebook page], it looks like costs are:
| |
| | |
| $10 ages 13+
| |
| | |
| $5 ages 8-12
| |
| | |
| 7 and under are free with paid adult
| |
| | |
| The [https://www.facebook.com/groups/MachineShed/ Machine Shed website].
| |
| | |
| They're open from 4-8 pm, and the cost is flat per session, so if you feel like arriving early for longer gaming that's certainly fine. They also sell snacks, drinks, and pizza, so you can come straight after work.
| |
| | |
| They are located at [https://www.google.com/maps/place/11+2nd+St+NE,+Rochester,+MN+55906/@44.0255146,-92.4643205,17z/ 11 2nd St NE], Rochester, MN 55906 in the east portion of the Wausau Homes building (look for the two large garage doors and the entry door).
| |
| | |
| | |
| Note that the signage is almost non-existent, they have a plain text-only sign on the appropriate door, but no big sign on the building. The parking lot there IS for customers, or you can park on the street. I won't be attending, you'll have to gather around someone else.

| === Upcoming Meeting Crisis! ===
| |
| We need some meeting topics (& speakers) for 2016. We'd like to know what you want to see and hear about. Please email Tina or Jon G with suggestions for topics. Should we run some previous sessions again (maybe something you really wanted to see but missed out on)? What type of topics are good, what type are bad?
