There should be a meeting tomorrow, but I haven't yet got the<br>
announcement out.<br>
<br>
We don't have a speaker scheduled, but we typically hang out and<br>
discuss tech things for an hour or so and then go get some food and<br>
beverages.<br>

What do you folks think about doing "social meetings" when we don't<br>
have a speaker scheduled? Instead of booking the room, we just meet at<br>
a restaurant?</blockquote></div><br>I like the idea of meeting (even without a topic) in the classroom -- we can draw things on the whiteboard, hook up laptops to the projector and generally take as much space as we need. It's also good for latecomers, if any -- they know that they can come up to the classroom and join in. If we skip the classroom, people arriving late might not know how to find us.<br>
<br>My two cents. :)<br><br>-- <br>Alex Beamish<br>Toronto, Ontario<br>aka talexb<br><br>
