[VPM] combined May meeting for RCSS, Victoria.pm?

[Darren Duncan]

Citing the following 2 quoted emails (though with some further 
developments excluded), it occurs to me that the 2 local groups RCSS 
and Victoria.pm may be able to help each other out for the month of 
May by combining into one meeting.

Specifically, RCSS has a room at UVIC (and a larger attending 
membership), but not really any talk.  Whereas, Victoria.pm has a 
good talk (and few attending members), but it doesn't really have a 
room.

I propose that "mock" give his talk to the RCSS group on the first 
tuesday of May, and the Victoria.pm people attend this meeting as if 
it were a VPM meeting (and I'm in both anyway).

It is still 6 days until May 1st, so there is still time to organize.

Note that RCSS meetings traditionally have multiple talks, so we 
could do mock's presentation plus others that either group's members 
want to do.  (Eg, there was mention of throwing something together 
about Oracle's optimizer.)

What do you say?
