[pm-h] July Houston.pm Meeting topic

[Trac Taylor]

I would like to do a hackathon.  I would like to see the process. I would like to pick up a module one day and I think it would help to see what you guys do when picking up a module to help enhance or take ownership of it.   It is probably too late to plan/do this option this month, but maybe in the future.

 Well, so far we still seem to be lacking opinions.

Let's try narrowing it down by looking at JD's top two, lightning talks
or social meeting.

I could probably come up with a 5-10 minute talk if we have enough
people to make it worthwhile. Any other takers?

If we don't have a solid idea before Tuesday, we'll need to fall back
to a social meeting.

Any other volunteers?
