Whoops, I've been forgetting to follow up on this. Tomorrow's the day
of the webcast, so we'd better figure out what to do.
We could schedule a meeting in our old time/place (5:30 PM, Mary-Ann's
Kitchen, ... oops, Oct. 13 is Columbus Day). So we'd need a new
time/place.
(I still haven't found us an alternate meeting location, by the way.
Suggestions? Better yet, suggestions backed by permission, or at
least contact information for whom to ask for permission? It looks
like we don't really need wireless, since we probably won't do more
lab meetings, but we still need enough space and peace and quiet to
project slides.)
We could crash the next meeting (Oct. 8) of the Dayton Dynamic
Languages group. (Actually, I'm sure they'd be happy to have us - I'd
check first.) That would give us access to the real subject matter
experts, and give us critical mass. It would involve waiting for a
few weeks after the webcast, though.
Personally, I suggest joining with the Dynamic Languages crew, but if
several DAY-O members speak up and say that they're personally
interested and want us to do it ourselves, that's fine too.
Maybe the thing to do is email the general (not organizers') DAY-O
list and ask people interested in the webcast to respond - then we'll
know how many interested people we have.
Thoughts?
