We had a relatively small, but lively crowd show up for our short-notice bonus meeting last night, to learn about Linux on satellites and CubeSat, and to digress into a conversation on artificial intelligence.

[http://www.lugod.org/meeting/] This coming Monday, we'll be celebrating our 12th anniversary (how we formed [http://www.lugod.org/documents/history/beginning.txt]) with free pizza, cake, drinks, and some books to give away (thanks, O'Reilly Media [http://www.oreilly.com/]!).
Mark Terranova, from the Bay Area non-profit The Gidget Kitchen [http://www.gidgetkitchen.org/], will be there to talk about how Free and Open Source communities compare to cults (seriously!). As always, our meeting is free and open to the public. Learn more. [http://www.lugod.org/meeting/]
