Having food and a time slot for free-form discussion no more than an hour into it would be a big improvement.

The later the better if after 1700. Traffic is insane until 1930 usually. I
prefer no alcohol & just food so we can focus on whatever the next great
topic is. Or no food. Spend all that on making the talk & audience
commentary remotely accessible = no traffic!

This it the one group whose subject is so interesting I don't need to see
anyone to attend. I'd be happy if we were all virtual forever & accessible
online for later viewing.

Thank you everyone who came last night!

We had 18 people with record diversity.

Thoughts:

1. Maybe start at 6PM, especially for social aspects?
         Feedback: "I could come straight from work!"
         Feedback: "That would put me in traffic for an extra hour"

2. Have food there?
         I brought a platter of sandwiches and a small keg of beer to two
or so
PLUG AT meetings and Intel had snacks.
         The Center has kitchen, for what it's worth.
         All previous PLUG food was before DoorDash etc.

3. THANKS AGAIN!
