Aug. 4, 2010 - "Android" roundtable at next month's social gathering
A number of LUGOD members will be bringing their Android-based
phones (and perhaps other devices) to next month's
social gathering
(at Crepeville in downtown Davis) for a roundtable discussion
and show-and-tell. If you've got an Android device you'd like
to show off, and/or are interested in learning more about the
platform and some of the devices available, please join us!
(We hope to also have an Android development talk at one of
our regular meetings at some point, too!)

about Samba at SVLUG and

Science club at UC Davis meets next Wednesday? Plus,
don't forget that you can
