What was that game Kirk proposed in that ST:OS game to confuse the bad
guys? ;-)


Anyway, we've had some very good presentations, but also some kind of
lack-luster ones. I wonder if there's a non-offensive way to just do
two shorter presentations per meeting and keep meetings to once a
month (for maximal networking value, event value, and so forth).

If someone is truly an expert on a topic s/he might take the whole
hour. But for the presentations that are just showing us stuff someone
taught themselves in an evening, perhaps we could encourage people to
be more organized and efficient with their time and thus all of us get
twice as much.

I like the range of presentations, but sometimes they fill an hour
only because we have an hour to fill.

Yes, I'm wearing my asbestos undies. ;-)
