[Discuss] Boston Linux Meeting reminder, tomorrow Wednesday, May 16, 2018 - Blockchain crypto currencies, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and Perl

[David Kramer]

I know I don't get to very many meetings these days but I hope to get to 
this one.

Does this mean we can get there by taking Memorial Drive to Wadsworth?  
Parking is another challenge, but that at least gets you to the building..
