Any chance we can get even a one paragraph spew on what this covers? 
Just my luck it will be "intercepting shared library and system calls
using Ruby!"  (That's a joke!) Is it me, or am I the only one who would
appreciate a bit of an "announcement" with at least a modest content
description before deciding to drive 35-45 minutes each way on a Monday
night?  Of course, don't do it for me, since I'll probably be at the
DBacks season opener--especially since I bought season tickets...but,
hey, just in case anyone else might consider going if perchance the
announcement was more appetite whetting than sliding down a 50' razor
blade...I'm not talking about marketing dribble and going off the deep
end or even suggesting a master's thesis outline, rather, a Who/What
(since the where/when are fairly well covered at this point) would be
one of those apparently pointless niceties...please excuse me if this
encroaches upon borderline professionalism, but if we're going to the
trouble to do it, why not do it for at least our own benefit? :)

Take Care.

Rob!
