	- Augie Fackler one of the leads of the Perian Project (http:// 
perian.org/) will demo Perian and discuss some of the development  
challenges they've overcome -- specifically creating universal static  
libraries.  Perian is a free, open source QuickTime® component that  
adds native support for many popular video formats


	- Jon Rentzsch will be talking about NSXReturnThrowError which is a  
new set of nonviral ObjC macros that automate wrapping error codes  
from Carbon, Posix and mach/IOKit into NSError objects and/or  
NSExceptions. Wolf will demonstrate how to use them and how they work  
internally.


- Q&A


- O'Tooles
	We will continue the discussion at our local watering hold Timothy  
O'Toole's at 622 Fairbanks (2 blocks east of the store).


We also wish to thank the folks who run the theater space at the  
Apple store for letting us have our meetings there, and Jonathan  
'Wolf' Rentzsch for hosting the new and revived CAWUG web site and  
taking over hosting our listserve.  Thanks all.

Also, if you are working on a project and would like to talk about  
it  briefly / promote it, I think it would be fun for people to hear  
about  other people's projects.  Please email me off line and you can  
talk at  a future meeting or would like a book to review.

Future meetings dates: 2/13/07 & 3/13/07
