From waltman at pobox.com Sun Nov 4 08:51:25 2012 From: waltman at pobox.com (Walt Mankowski) Date: Sun, 4 Nov 2012 11:51:25 -0500 Subject: [Philadelphia-pm] REMINDER: Meeting Monday, Nov. 5 at 7 pm (possible traffic issues) Message-ID: <20121104165125.GA4932@mawode.com> This is a longer than usual announcement with some last-minute information about potential traffic issues. Please read it all if you're planning on going to Kurt's talk tomorrow. We will be having a tech meeting tomorrow night, November 5. Kurt Starsinic will be talking about Graphite, a highly scalable real-time graphing system. We'll be meeting in our usual location -- room 307 Levine Hall, 3333 Walnut St. on Penn's campus. We may be losing this spot after this month, so if you have any other potential meeting locations please let us know. Our meetings normally run from 7-9 PM. Our normal schedule runs something like this: 7-8 Chat and Perl Q&A. 8-9 Presentation 9-? Dinner However, that will NOT be our schedule this month. We're going to skip the Q&A portion of the meeting and change the agenda to: 7-8 Presentation 8-? Dinner This is to accommodate Perl project lead Ricardo Signes, who will be joining us tomorrow night. Ricardo lives in Bethlehem, and he needs to catch a bus home from 30th St. Station no later than 9:30. Oh, and to make tomorrow even more fun, I just learned that Bill Clinton will be speaking at a pre-election rally right across the street from Levine Hall at the Palestra at 5 PM Monday afternoon. Hopefully that will be over long before our meeting, but there's a chance that there might be traffic and parking restrictions in the area that will linger until 7:00. I'll post updates tomorrow if I hear any further information. Darian -- how early will we be able to get into the room tomorrow? I'll be coming directly from Drexel so I can be there early if necessary. Walt -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
