If anyone feels motivated to wait in the lobby (rather than upstairs) before the meeting, we could have a presence down there make sure nobody gets lost/confused.

I know of many groups that have expired because of the lack. Amusingly, I've noticed the Toronto Python meetup group has been abandoned by it's organizer. Gotta keep regular meetings going or face extinction, even the "cool kids" are susceptible.</div>

Not all of you have signed up to <a href="http://meetup.com">meetup.com</a>, so I'd encourage others to do so. The visibility in there really helps.</div>
