	Produce Row would probably work well in the summer when the tables
out back are available.

	The pdxwireless/personaltelco group meets at the lucky lab. That
works pretty well as a venue for us.

	In times past headhunting on lists has been considered a faux pas.
These days there are enough geeks out of work that I would no longer

leagues of professional headhunters hammering the list would be pretty
obnoxious.
