The 5th annual Linux anniversary picnic and barbecue was held
on Sunday, August 14th, 2005 in Sunnyvale. It was coordinated by
members of
BayLISA (Cupertino),
CABAL (Menlo Park),
LUGOD (Davis),
PenLUG (Redwood Shores),
SVLUG (San Jose) and
sbay.org (San Jose).
The welcome table opens up just after 11am, and people line up to sign in
and get t-shirts.
The large Picn*x sign from last year is put up.
Tons of raffle items were donated by numerous sponsors.
