SVLUG installfest

SVLUG Installfests are normally
3rd Saturday, every month at Evergreen Valley College, San Jose.
11am - 4pm but this September through June, the installfest hours have changed to 3:00 pm to 6:30 pm

SVLUG Hacking Society Meetings have ceased,
but can resume if you will speak up and say you'll run them each month (on the regular day of your choosing). Otherwise, the series ended as of July 2006.
