Re: New Student Organization and Next Meeting Location

Don't forget at an important part of this next meeting will be to  
plan the installfest.

I would recommend getting the installfest square first and then if  
there is time to talk about other things.  Without enough planning  
involved with that it will be a flop.

Or, possibly breaking up into 2 groups. 1 or 2 people take all the  
new attendees to the side and site and talk with them, get them to  
join the mailing list, etc ... and rest rest talk about the installfest.

Mike.
