Note NO NOVEMBER tech meeting - 2nd Tuesday in November in a Leap year
is Election Day - I presume most people will be watching a different
channel that night. Do we want a different night or week ? We usually
do social in December.
Boilerplate details

Tech Meetings are held on the 2nd Tuesday of every month at MIT
building E51, Sloan School Tang Center [not the other Tang building!]
nearer to Kendall Sq than Mass Ave. (directions).
Talk begins at 7:30.
Refreshments in the hallway prior.
RSVP for count encouraged but not required, to [email protected] or
Boston-PM list, by 4pm Tuesday.
