Event Highlights for November 23–29, 2009

Can we vote right now that Thanksgiving is the best holiday of the year? Food, family, football and no gift pressure make it an ideal combination for a (relatively) stress free holiday. But what’s good for your stomach isn’t necessarily good for our events calendar. The upcoming holiday has left us a little thin.

Before you scuttle off to Mom’s house for some cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie, there are a few events worth attending. After all, don’t you want to be prepared to talk about Linux when Uncle Mike asks you what you have been up to?

Later today, famous West Coast web hosting company Laughing Squid along with one of the brains behind the original Ignite events are having beers in Old City. Then, tomorrow, the Philadelphia Linux Users Group group gets one last meeting in before going home.

All events listed on the event calendar are free to attend. Be sure to check our complete calendar for more.

First you’ll have to head on over to Buffalo Billiards to attend Net Tuesday, then hop over to Old City for Indy Hall’s birthday party. After you are done drinking with the Two Guys on Beer, you should cap it all off with the Linux meetup.
