I want to say that I greatly appreciate having these Wednesday lunches. While most of you seem to be surrounded by tech-minded folk on a regular basis, I'm not. That's an unfortunate side-effect of living 90+ miles from civilization and about 250 miles from cities like Denver and Colorado Springs. I have yet to find anyone within an hour of me that even knows what programming is, let alone actually partaking in it. Of course if you want to talk farming, you'll find masses. I completely understand work and personal things that interfere with regular attendance of such lunches. Once upon a time, I lived in the Seattle/Tacoma/Olympia, WA area and had a decently hectic schedule. Last month, a total of four people attended the lunch. This month, only two. Hopefully without stepping on any feet, there are a couple of things I'd like to do to attempt to increase the regular attendance of these meetings: 1) Adjust the time or day of the meetings to better suit the greatest number of interested attendees, but only if required. 2) Provide a means of predicting how many people will attend and under which conditions (minimum attendance, location, length of meeting, etc). For example, I intend to attend all meetings that have at least two other attendees. If only one can attend, I'd prefer to not drive about 250 miles to get there. The location, day, and time have no affect on my attendance. For others, they might only be able to attend on Wednesdays, only on weekends, or only after 3pm. Of course, as a dyed-in-the-wool programmer type, I'm willing throw code at the problem. I made this as a rough-draft type of thing: http://oakley.dusty.ext.megagram.net/pppm/attend/ I want your opinions/etc about this. It took almost no time to make it (30 or so minutes), so don't feel obligated to like it. But if it can help determine who is going to attend, that will help me directly and might give others the option to not attend unless a certain number of others have pledged to attend as well. These meetings are valuable to me and I would like to increase their attendance. Having something like this is not something I can take for granted and am willing to go great distances (literally and figuratively) to both keep them going and to enhance their attendance and value for others.

It'll overwrite whatever you had set before. The only thing that really messes up is if you had set a note, it'll get overwritten. But to change your attendance or change the # of min attendees, just resubmit.

I updated a few things. I fixed the attendee minimum calculation (it wasn't actually calculating because I hadn't gotten there yet). I added red/green colors on attendees to signify that they were coming (green) or they were not coming because not enough other people were going (or had not yet met that requirement). Opinions, changes, bugs, etc... please let me know via the list.

Added iCal file for download of all meetings on the front page and iCal file for specific individual meetings, in case you prefer one way over the other.
