[SGVLUG] Thanks for SGVLUG 20th Anniversary Party

[Lan Dang]

Hi Claude,

That's a great summary of the sponsors.  We should tweet that.  BTW, I reviewed (and corrected) our RSVP check-in list: we had about 108 people, including the OpenX representatives.

If any of you talk about the party on social media, please acknowledge our sponsors.  On Twitter, use #sgvlug20th.  And if you took photos, please share.  



Thank you all for coming.  One of the things we'd wanted to accomplish with this party was to bring everyone back together.  I love the stories I heard about LUG from Dick Emerson, Bob Jaffray, Dustin Laurence, Mike Rubel.  Tom was mentioned a lot.  He left a great legacy and he's really the reason I do what I do for LUG.

Big shoutout to John Slayton aka Juan Slayton, who did a fabulous display of his Desknet system for computer-aided classroom drills.  



I'm glad Mike P-S was able to find the Tux doorbell.  I have taken custody of it, because I have a sentimental attachment to it.  When I first tried to attend LUG, back when it was at Downs, it was the doorbell that told me I was at the right place.  Later, I remember always sitting in the back row with those creaky chairs, and getting up every time the doorbell rang to open the door for latecomers.

Lan

Hey everyone,

How about a big thanks to Lan, James, Michael and everyone else who
helped organize the SGVLUG 20th anniversary party as well as the
sponsors OpenX, Hackaday, Tux-Lab, Red Hat, Canonical and everyone
else who donated food, time, swag and prizes for the raffles.  Thanks
to Michael P-S for stepping in to "run" the meetings after Tom Emerson
passed away.  It was really nice seeing everyone especially those I
remember while the group met at Caltech first to Moore, then
Guggenheim and finally Downs.

Claude
