From Sfvlug
Welcome to the San Fernando Valley Linux Users Group (SFVLUG) wiki. A special welcome to those who took the the time to stop by and talk to us at our booth at SCALE 5X! We hope to see you all soon at one of our meetings. If for some reason you are unable to attend a meeting we invite you to visit with us here at the SFVLUG wiki.

SCALE 5X is over. It was a terrific event. The largest crowd yet, at least by my unofficial guestimate. A shout out to all who attended with special thanks going to the members who helped man the booth!
The only complaint I heard was that the meeting rooms weren't large enough to hold everyone that wanted in. In the past the expo floor would clear out as the presentations started. This was not the case this year as the expo floor remained crowded throughout the day.
We weren't able to achieve a satisfactory recognition rate with Sphinx so we just presented ourselves; which actually worked out well in that it gave us a chance to talk to visitors about our organization as a whole rather than focus on a specific project. --Miasma 17:47, 12 February 2007 (EST)

About Us
We are a very loosely organized group of GNU/Linux and open source software enthusiasts, that live/work/meet in the San Fernando Valley, a suburb of Los Angeles in Southern Californina. You don't actually need to live in the Valley to join, but attending meetings is more difficult if you don't. Please see our Announcements page for more information on meetings. If you can't attend regular meetings you can still get involved here at this wiki, or in our IRC chat on freenode in #sfvlug.
