[Ubuntu-US-CA] Picnic with Lucidity

[Mark Terranova]

BBQ - Everyone is invited to Geeknic1 Bay Area,

what is a Geeknic?
A geeknic is a picnic for geeks. http://geeknic.org/  Anywhere there are
geeks, a geeknic should happen.

We are going to be meeting outdoors (something unusual for some us geeks)
and having a good time. We'll have burgers, hotdogs, and some other good
grilling fun. We'll also have some vegetarian options also, vegetables shish
kabobs (with or without tofu.)

The goal is to alternate between different parts of The Bay. You can help
plan for the next picnic in June. It will be in the South Bay, the next will
be farther north. We would like more suggestions for other venues.

 Heather Farms is a great location. Many things to do there. Nice gardens

We have been trying to do the same sort of organizing for picnics with
geeks. We have two techniques for sorting out potential locations.
*Taking a poll--  http://www.cs.cornell.edu/andru/civs.html Voting has been
extended until Thursday at 6pm. Let me know - we can add more voters

*location based on the center point of the members for Geeknic3

When you add yourself the group meets closer to you :)

Sorry on the short notice, we are also planning
http://gidgetkitchen.org/wiki/Geeknic2
<http://gidgetkitchen.org/wiki/Geeknic1>for June. I was under the impression
we had already had sent invites to you nice people at the start of the
month. Hmm, better late than never :)
