We are not limited to, but do enthusiastically encourage:

| Believe it or not, Linux events also happen outside the city borders. For the adventuresome, two good lists of such far away events are available from visiting websites [http://linuxmafia.com/bale/ linuxmafia.com] and [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/UserGroupContacts/Groups#SF wiki.ubuntu.com].
