I am checking to see if it still works! Shotgun approach!
I mirrored the image to a new server.
I see that the mailing list allows a max message size of 40kb.
I think we ought to figure out how to bost that a little bit!

Sen,
Some questions on the new saclug site.
https://github.com/brieweb/saclug.org/tree/master/theme/static/css
I am not the CSS expert. It looks like the template now just uses
saclug.css? It previously used nblug.css and normalize.css. What was
your strategy here?

Howdy Y'all,
I just got back from a dry run using the "Something Extra Gather Room"
at the Bel Air #502 on Arden and Eastern.
The address is 4320 Arden Way, Sacramento, CA 95864 and the gmaps page is:
https://maps.app.goo.gl/eBKZdheFGPSeDXFk7
I thought to do a dry run to sus out the AV setup and get a general lay
of the land, suffice to say I am VERY impressed. The SEGR is located
immediately inside to the left of the left most entrance, right in "THE
TAPROOM" area. It's one of those rooms where the walls are made of
partially frosted glass panels.
Coffee, beer, desserts and charcuterie are available at the nearby
counter,but you can also walk across the store and get something from
the deli if you want something more meal shaped. Just remember to
actually buy the food before you eat it. :p
The AV setup is a BIG tv with a BIG soundbar attached. The power button
for the TV is on the bottom edge in the center,so you have to wedge your
fingies between the tv and the soundbar to get at it. Once the TV is on,
some inputs can be switched and some sort of cable/broadcast tv box can
be controlled via the Crestron tablet thing on top of the media cabinet.
The pincode for the Crestron tablet is the store # twice, literally:
"502502". HDMI in is on the right side of the media cabinet. If you
really really want you can also plug into either HDMI 1 or DVI directly
on the tv, but then you only get audio from the crappy TV speakers and
not the nice sound bar.
The store wifi *seemed* to be ok, measuring at ~100Mb symmetric, but
then I had issues connecting to some ubuntu repos? I fell back to the
wifi hotspot on my phone which also worked p well, which tells me the
area has good T-Mobile coverage.
From what I can gather the room isn't used much and the staff there seem
pretty chill, so no ones gonna yell at us if we show up a little early
and leave a little late.
And the best part (aside from the beer) is that the 2hr booking cost $0.
This is absolutely my vote for the December meeting, but let me know
what y'all think. Shout out to Gary for the idea, I had *no idea*
meeting rooms in Raley's were a thing.
I'll send a follow up email with some photos/videos attached of the venue.
Cheers,
Sen-h.
I put Kupros on the schedule for December, yet we can change it. I want
to say thank you again to Sen for contributing to the new SacLUG site!

Hey Y'all,
So I've been doing some work on the source for the *new and improved* saclug site (thx to brian for adding me to the github project), and I've been thinking more about venues.
Kupros has good food and cold beer but I think there is general agreement that it's too friggin loud. Also there is no facility to do presentations.
Way way back in the before times I used to attend an open mic night at Sactown union brewery. In the interim it's name changed to Tower brewing, which then closed and was taken over by another brewing company and is now called Highwater brewing company.
The front of the venue features a little stage-let with, (IIRCC) a white backdrop and some facilities for projection. While the establishment has no kitchen, they did(at least 3 years ago) have an agreement for pizza delivery from a local pizza place.
Even though they have changed names 3 times and now have completely different owners, the fact that they are still doing the same types of meetups as they were 3.5 years ago gives me hope that the venue/logistics haven't changed much.
I'll be doing some reconnaissance sometime this week, and am curious to see if anyone has any other suggestions for venues.
sen-h.
