Re: SFPUG meetings, schedule for year

I'm very interested in a South Bay meeting, although I often have
conflicts with my kids' school meetings. (I intended to over to
Emeryville last night but had an unscheduled class meeting to attend
at our school.)

If I were available, I could probably host here at Apple in Cupertino
if there's interest.
