If you want to arrange to just meet somewhere for a Stammtisch-like
gathering that's fine. I'm still going to cancel the meeting if we don't
have an announced topic by the end of the day.

We get more attendance and participation if we have a topic announced
ahead of time. The last two months I've come up with last-minute topics. I
can't do that for the rest of the summer and in the fall I should be
teaching Wednesday nights ( shell scripting starts in August ).

Yup, which is why I announced we'll pay for pizza. Last year when you were
providing pizza and drinks it went over really, really well. I think that
was great initiative and made a difference. Thanks for helping out before.
Let's see if we can continue.

Also, if there's a meeting, we can have penguin bowling again. Those there
last week know what I mean. The rest of you will have to show up to find
out ;-).

ciao,
