[activities] Re: SLUG Monthly Meeting: 24 September 2010

(BCCed - registered attendees, who will not receive followups - if
you're not on the list,
http://lists.slug.org.au/archives/activities/2010/09/ should show
updates)

Due to the small number of registered attendees (11 definite, 7
maybe), and the small number of planned lightning talks (as of 1am
today, http://wiki.slug.org.au/september2010lightningtalks dropped
from 1 planned talk to 0 planned talks), I'm proposing that we make
tonight's meeting purely social.

To this end:

 -- We'll hold it in the Cafe at Google on level 6 - it has views, a
balcony, and lots of tables+chairs.
 -- The room has a podium and projector, so people can still address
the group if they wish
 -- We'll either order the pizza for earlier than usual - or just
leave early and go out for pizza. Decision to be made by people who
have arrived at 6:30.

Talk suggestions, or alternate suggestions for what to do tonight, are
welcome :)
