I took the attitude "hopefully we won't get thrown out" and, mercifully we
didn't.  It all worked out.  We had eight people attending.  Jeff gave a
good talk on module creation.  And it looks like I may have speakers for
the next two months!  This year may not suck after all.

For those that DID show up, if you're willing to be included in a list of
attendees for this month, please drop me a note.  I'm going to try to get
a better archive of meetings maintained for this year.  :-)
