	One or both of you (and/or any other Unix sys admin types out there)
may be interested in coming out to an English Bay LISA meeting. EBL is an
group of local Unix sys admins that meet on a monthly basis on the third
Wednesday of the month. There is a meeting announcement mailing list (send
email to me, vanepp@sfu.ca to join). The next meeting will be tomorrow night
as the following message indicates (we would welcome people with time to 
devote to identifying speakers and/or centrally located meeting rooms). 
Currently meetings are free and open to all (for this one you will obviously
need to buy beer and/or food). If you do plan to attend please RSVP to Rob.
As you see, whatever our orginizational failings we always identify a local
establishment where a subcommittee of the whole convenes to perform a quality
control evaluation of the suds on tap, just to make sure the quality is being
maintained since this is a well known requirement of system administrators.

  Hello All,

  This month we have no formal presentation, mainly due to me not getting
in action soon enough.  I think we should probably meet anyways.  

  Sam Lam has suggested that we try to raise a little money so that we
can have a consistent meeting place (Vancouver Public Library or the like).
Our last few meetings at SFU have seen dwindling attendance and I think
that if we could choose a more central location the attendance may improve.
So, this meeting's will purpose will be to determine if the general
members (informal as they may be) are in favour of this kind of fund raising
and all that it implies: creating a society, electing an executive, yearly
filings, ... or if they have better or alternative ideas for meeting places.

  Time:      7:00 pm
  Place:     Yaletown Brewing Co.
             215 1110 Hamilton

  This fine establishment has a reasonable selection on the menu and brews
their own beer, a trait that many a System Administrator finds important
in a place purveying food and beverages. Reservations are under "English 
Bay LISA" and are for 10 people.  If you can make it (and I encourage 
everyone to make it to this meeting) please drop me a note so I know if I 
have to alter the reservation total.

  If you have views on meeting places or fund raising or anything else
that you think imporant to our group and are unable to make it to the 
meeting I'm willing to bring forth those ideas at this meeting.  So even
if you are unable to attend please let me know what you are thinking
(well at least about EBL, I don't want to know about the other stuff).

  Cheers,

Rob
