That’s right, we have another meeting coming up this week. We’ll be meeting up at Panera Bread in Hadley. That’s on 353 Russell Street in the strip mall with the Wal-Mart and the Barnes and Noble. Attendance has been light lately, if could post to our mailing list to let us know your coming, we’ll make our best effort to
reserve enough seating.

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][3] 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.

I had some topics that I am eager to discuss, but alas, this meeting won’t be it. I’m getting married on Friday and the ceremony rehearsal is on Wednesday. I know what you’re thinking, Doug summed it up in IRC…

Come on man, get your priorities straight. – Doug via IRC on #wmassdevs

I will be at the meeting on July 29, I’ll still be adjusting to a polyphasic sleep schedule and will be about 4 days in. They say day four is the toughest, you don’t want to miss it.!
