Great to hear from you, Vishal!

Newcomers (to both the group and Scala, of course) are very welcome! If we
can manage to get it set up in time, working through some of the Scalatron
exercises in groups, or something along those lines, would be perfect for
beginners, but hopefully still engaging enough for everyone else, as well.
I'll see if I can make that happen, though my schedule is pretty booked
between now and then.

If anyone else wants to suggest ideas that would be appropriate or try to
get Scalatron running on a system they could bring to the meeting, that
would be welcome, of course! Either way, there are always at least a couple
newcomers and we're generally all happy to discuss topics that are
accessible to any level. Let us know if there's anything in particular
you'd like to hear about!
