Re: BerkeleyLUG meetup this Sunday 2019-06-09 at Cafe Blue Door (new place!)

Meeting went very well.

Noise at ok levels.

Good table arrangements.

Power available.

Close to AC transit.

Parking ok (now that school is not in session - but may be better than downtown in any case).

Table rent aka food and beverages ok.

Reports that WiFi was good (I didn't use it myself).

...

So Pi July on the 7th will be at Blue Door.

I have been gifted a Pi 3. Free to whoever wants it for Pi July. Comes with choice of red or clear case and I think an SD card. You will need to provide your own power supply. And it is very easy to set it up for headless mode.

Let me know if you want it.

*No IPv6, but have IPv4 (complimentary Wi-Fi NATed/SNATed)

Bonuses (compared to the former location):
o They're in business
o They're open
o The Wi-Fi doesn't suck (quite reliable and at least sufficiently fast)
o the food is better (and arguably the beverages)
o They have *two* restrooms, both are reported to have toilet paper, etc.
o etc. (we'll figure out what the other advantages/benefits are)

We've also got a fairly large table.
