Meetings - Next Three Months

[Gordon Dymowski]

Everyone,

Wanted to touch base since I've been off the grid (busy with freelance work and other fun things) and
get a sense of what we need and can accomplish for the next three months' worth of meetings.

October - we have a site (Next Door on Diversey,  Red Board Room): do we have a speaker/topic?
(As a fallback, we could have Heidi talk about the non-profit social media conference put on by our
evil Microsoft overlords, and/or I had this half baked idea for "open source strategic planning" for
the group. I'm open to whatever).

November - you received the e-mail coordinating with Tina James; we've been asked to move
the meeting from 5 - 8. When I send the notice out (which I should do by Wednesday), I will have
5 - 6 as "networking" (to give people a chance to come in from downtown), and I think if we have
a loose agenda, we can get this done by 7:30 - 8:00 pm.

Again, if you have any objections or concerns, please let me know by Wednesday - I'm planning to
update the Meetup site on that day, and so could use some advance notice if this needs to be discussed.

December - need a venue/speaker - or do we want to do a social? And if so, where? (Might I
suggest Wormhole Coffee at 1426 N. Milwaukee?)

Also, we probably should inject some new blood into the organizer pool; does anyone have any
obvious candidates? (And qualifications should be more than just "they show up every meeting":))

Thanks,
Gordon
