if you stop-by #debian-nyc on oftc, you can tell folks if you want to meet for $FOOD and/or $DRINK if possible. We had a DD in from Norway a few weeks ago and we went for BBQ and Dim Sum.
Challah looks nice :)

Haha thanks!

I enjoyed Star Trek :)

But in a strange move for me (I love scifi!), it was The Great Gatsby that I really enjoyed. Awesome sound track and the whole thing was so sparkly. I might go see it again.

That is the best title ever! The challah looks delicious :-) Also, how’d you like Star Trek?

Comment on Day of Rest by pam

Good for you! I am becoming more and more passionate about this topic. I think if we want stronger families, healthier communities, and a stronger America in general, we have to do something about being able to carve out a day of rest for our people. Increasingly, our culture is making it more and more difficult. When my son’s soccer game was scheduled for Mother’s Day afternoon, I thought a line had been crossed. There are many other things as well. Do we really have to have a brat fry for the Scouts on Mother’s Day? Does the Catholic football team need to practice on Sunday morning? Does our local charity shop honestly have to be open on Memorial Day? I enjoy having the shops open on a Sunday as well as the next guy…but at what price does that come? I’d really like to continue this conversation. I can’t be the only one whose Mother’s Day has been foiled by an unnecessary fundraiser or sporting event.

The ones at UDS or the local ones I have here in San Francisco?

The UDS ones are tricky because there are always multiple events per night, so people have team dinners, employer dinners, or other social plans that overlap with others (several women couldn’t attend the last Ubuntu Women dinner I held due to conflicts). Often times it was the only time in 6 months you could meet with certain people in person so the evenings were quite valuable.

Locally in SF… well it’s actually a similar problem :) We’re such a heavy tech city that you could go to a tech event every single night of the week and still not get to everything. I joked that when I moved here I got a “LUG Hangover” from going to so many events in one month. Even our Ubuntu Hour+Debian Dinner conflict with a weekly Linux meetup. It’s pretty much impossible to avoid this and so people need to make choices about what they’ll attend and how much they’ll attend.

I wish your dinners / local events had a bigger turnout. It saddens me when I see things like, “7 people showed up”. (Although, that is, to me, a pretty decent gathering for dinner.)
