I looked, and only found this:

January works for me. December is not possible.

Last time round? Oh, maybe you mean an earlier meeting?
Oh, the November 16 meeting that is still up there on our
home page? With no blurb at all?
OOPS! I've got to run. I'm starting a BSD User Group
and the first planning meeting between the three co-hosts
starts in 1 hour, and I just have time to get there.
I wish I could edit lula.org right now. But I must run.
Dan has always in the last half year beat me to the punch,
and I had so hoped to get at least one edit in before he
updated the home page. Guess he gets another chance.
(It's official, I'm now spread too thin on User Group
planning activity at 4 meetings a month now, where I
co-host three of them, and do one myself.)
Oh, I did post this myself to the list on the day of the meeting:
UML by Chris Smith
For those of you not knowing about UML, Unix Mode Linux, it is
a host OS patch that allows more than one complete and separate
Linux distro to run on the same hardware. The LA UML Coop now
has their box colocated in downtown LA, full time on the internet,
and over a dozen members have their selection of linux distro
running concurrently on this one box. That is over 12 different
linux OSes, each in its own Virtual Space, with different root
users, hosting services like web, email, network back up, DNS,
and more.
Getting it up and running was a learning curve, and now that
is going, all the members are pleased to have a remote computer
full time on the internet with their own IP number and MAC
address to host domain names, storage (10 gig or more), private
email (no ISP can read your inbox, as you are the ISP), and
lots of open source fun.
I'm running DNS, web and email in my UML and plan on hosting
virtual domain names, and rsynch back up of my other colo
clients' files to this machine, and possible a hot failsafe
for web serving. Certainly, it will be my secondary DNS
and email back up server.
Chris is one of the key architects behind getting the host
OS and UML's running.
