Where does NBLUG typically meet? I ask because the OLPC -SF list/group 
(http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/olpc-sf) has been meeting at SF State 
for a couple of months now, but we are looking to rotate meeting venues. 
I have an offer from SF State's Romberg Tiburon Center 
(http://rtc.sfsu.edu/) as a possible venue. Meetings are typically on 
the second Saturday of the month.
