This room is located on the first floor of Morgan Hall. You can find more detailed directions on the WLUG home page at http://www.wlug.org, click on "WLUG Meetings" near the top of the page, and then scroll down to the bottom and click the "Directions" link. I am conscious of the fact that the weather may be inclement. Use your own good judgement - if the weather outside is frightful (but the air is so delightful), don't do anything foolish. Any potential cancellation email would have to be sent out by 4 PM at the latest, so please check your email boxes on Thursday.

I'll be going all 3 days. BTW, if you plan on going Wednesday, the Boston Linux User Group, at: http://www.blu.org/ is scheduling a LinuxWorld "bull session" at MIT from 7pm to 9pm.

I wonder how many people are going to show considering NOAA is talking about 20 inches of snow for the area. Also, other than myself, who else intends to attend the Linux World Expo in Boston next week?
