We currently only have one presentation for this month. That brings us to an important decision. 1) Bank Aki's presentation (Which he originally said was an option) for next month and try to get more presentations. 2) Have a more social meeting. Do aki's presentation, then hang around / go out for drinks. I'm personally leaning towards #1, but I don't mind either way.

I have a presentation in mind (tentative title: "Text messages from outer space, or, how Perl helped discover the most distant object known to humanity") but won't have enough time to get it together by next week.
