Decades (199x-2010) before I found wlug/WPI/you!,

I'd (rarely..road wimp, became too lazy,etc..)  go to MIT/Cambridge

for geek-meetings that a UNIX SysAdmin --> linux-lover might enjoy.

I stopped attending their meetings decades ago, but I kept listening quietly

to the "discuss" (primary email thread/list of BLU) that I think it morphed into:

Boston Linux and Unix  http://www.blu.org  (trivia: "Announce" includes "Discuss" list,

  which I get in digest,  so a dozen+week becomes sm handful per week.  TMI,but

see also http://www.blu.org/about_blu/    for a hint at BLU history + leaders.

HEAR YE   and cool/modern format(s):

BLU Meetings, at least some like THIS WEEK's, allow you to

 --- ATTEND and be yourself?        LIVE, with Jitsi,                  see below, or

---  PEEP  apparently live and/or later ?   with YouTube Live Stream, also below.

So this month/week's topic would be new-to-me! 

Almost-too-timely if you're into Enterprise/RedHat, it seems.

Comments and corrections welcome in advance about Alma, or BLU...

I know a couple of you (Chuck and who else?) listen(ed) to BLU/discuss!
