Why attend? 1) I sort of suggested the whole Virtual Machine smack-down concept, despite the final lack of participation in the demos on my part, or the smacking on any part. I felt I should at least show for the meeting on the idea I had. Not to say the presentations weren't good - well worth attending from my point of view since I had never used either VirtualBox or Xen.
2) I'm in GIS. OpenStreetmap was the flame to my moth. 3) Who wouldn't want to be packed into a room with 20-some-odd musky-smelling geek guys all sweating their ---- off?? Ok ok... I didn't know the room would be full... I was just hoping. (Hey, and we did have a couple awesome ladies who braved the meeting! Hats off to them! Of course now they've probably been scared off...) 4) My wife doesn't know that I'm secretly into bestiality and have a thing for penguins, so I try to find disguised ways to fit them into my life... ;} (quack!)

That's awesome. I got the sense from chatter in #vague that attendance was very good, which made me doubly-sad to have missed it. I think having two good presentations had something to do with it ... maybe? I don't really know... So, why did people attend the last meeting? I'm asking you who attended. Yes, you! What made for a well-attended meeting? I'm already signed up to do a "(Enterprise(y)) Java" preso for next meeting... maybe someone feels like stepping up to present on something else, as well, to get some good meetings in before the holidays and winter set in? -- ...jsled http://asynchronous.org/ - a=jsled; b=asynchronous.org; echo [EMAIL PROTECTED] This communication, including any attachments, is solely for the confidential use of the person(s) named above.
