That’s right, we have another meeting coming up this week. We’ll be
meeting in our usual location at the Snowtide Offices in
Northampton, they’re located in the Potpourri Plaza on King Street
(across the street from the Stop & Shop). We will be shopping for
snacks, if you could post to our mailing list to let us know your
coming, we’ll be sure to have enough eats for all. Attendance has been
light lately now that summer is setting in, letting us know you’re
coming is a huge help!

Topics

We’ll be sticking with the unconference format, it’s been working
well and people have been coming up with some great topics. The
discussion has been lively and we don’t want to mess with that. If you
have a topic you want to speak on, post it to our topics wiki and
let people know. I don’t know about anyone else, but when I see some
interesting topics on the wiki, it encourages me to both attend the
meeting and come up with a topic of my own.

Speaking of topics, I haven’t been doing anything that exciting
lately; it’s all wedding stuff all the time for me. That said, I have
been spending a lot of time using Emacs (I used to be all about
the Textmate) and I’m thinking about trying out a polyphasic
sleep schedule. Is anyone interested in either of these? I think I
can work up five minutes of substance.

Schedule

Lastly, here’s a rough outline of our schedule…

• 6:45 - 7:00 — room and food setup (let Chas know via the list
  if you can help setup)
• 07:00 - 07:30 — eat, meet and mingle
• 07:30 - 08:15 — first time slot for topics
• 08:15 - 09:00 — second time slot for topics
• 09:00 - 10:00 — more time to mingle and clean-up (everyone has been
  great about cleanup and the help is really appreciated)
