Sunday October 16 Declared “Steve Jobs Day”
California Governor Jerry Brown announced through a proclamation Friday that Sunday, Oct. 16 will be “Steve Jobs Day” statewide, and will coincide with a private memorial planned.
The first event, an invitation-only gathering for, “prominent Silicon Valley executives,” reports The New York Times’ Nick Wingfield, will take place on the official Steve Jobs Day – this Sunday – at an undisclosed location at Stanford University. The second event, a larger memorial service to be held outdoors on Apple’s campus, is scheduled to start at 10 a.m. (PST) this Wednesday.
