NEW TEMPORARY LOCATION: Free/Open Source Software Stammtisch on Tues (12/16)

[Eric Oyen]

hmmm. that might be worth the 90 odd minutes it takes to get there from here via the bus and train. the only real issue is going to be getting back (the last buses run their routes and stop just before 10 PM on most routes).
