[LA.pm] dinner thursday 11/20

[Peter Benjamin]

Meetings are held when and where a member says it is going
to happen.  At least that is what I have observed.  I think
it is a good thing.  We could have lots of meetings then.

Post 2 weeks before the meeting to get more Mongers there.  
Generate some discussion.  Make it sound attractive.  
Food does that.  ;-)

There was some initial resistance by Ask on the grounds of difficulty finding a presentation forum. To this resistance two solutions were offered (1) a socio-technical talk by me and (2) a room at rent.com

Email me or Robert if you are coming so we can make reservations and be sure to let you know if we find out that the place isn't open that day or whatever (yes, that has happened before :-) )
