[SGVLUG] Reminder: Meeting Thu 12/12: Github Enterprise for JPL

[Lan Dang]

Reminder that there is a meeting this week.  David Mittman, Bret George, and Robert Witoff will speak about bringing Github Enterprise to JPL. Please advertise this talk to anyone you think might be interested.  

Other items:
* SGVLUG meeting room:  It's our last meeting at Down 107.  We need to get a room for January and future meetings.  It's been mentioned on the mailing list and at meetings, but as yet, it is unresolved.  I have been too preoccupied with work and other matters to pursue this.  So please, let's figure out where we're meeting in January, so the group can continue to meet.

* Assuming we can get the room situation resolved, upcoming meetings include 
   * Jan 9 - OLPC (to be confirmed with Caryl)
   * Feb 13 - 7 deadly sins of programmers or the 9 circles of programmer hell (to be confirmed with Steven and Michael)
   * Feb 21-23 - SCALE
   * Mar 13 - Configuring a TPM with Linux (to be confirmed with Henry

* SCALE Call for Papers ends Dec 15th.  If you want to speak at SCALE, get your proposal in.  https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/cfp
