The message below is the same as before, but with the splashy new subject line,
and the fixes to the broken links Jeremy pointed out.
See you all there,

Date: Tuesday, October 11, 2011
Time: 6PM to 8:30PM-ish (however long people want to hack)
Place: Mutual Mobile Offices, 1712 Rio Grande (short walk from campus)
Agenda: continue working on or review chem equation balancing program
Mutual Mobile moved to the building across the street (from 1709 to 1712).
Getting to the room in the new building is really easy. Just go up the stairs,
and the doors open up into the room we meet in.
Last time, we were working on a chemistry equation balancing program [1]. We
realized that the problem is more or less a simple linear algebra problem,
which needs to be set up and solved after a little string parsing. We're not
too worried about students implementing an LA solver, so most of us are just
using off-the-shelf libraries for matrix-solving (like the Colt library for
Java [2]). We'll continue working the problem or review work that people have
completed.
The calendar [3] and Upcoming Events wiki page [4] are up-to-date. Also, I've
started keeping up the meeting notes [5] and to-do list [6] wiki pages as we've
started up a little more activity for the semester.
Finally, we've got a bit of preparation to do for the open forum we have
planned for October 25. Check out [6] to see if your name is next to anything.
I'll also contact some people individually who've signed up for things already.
