Both the virtual and the in-person physical meetups start at 11:00am PDT this Sunday, July 12th and go to 2:00pm PDT or however late people want to participate.
Am instead planning to be at the Berkeley Public Library's THP South branch [1] for this in-person meetup, as opposed to SoDoI coffeehouse.
While SoDoI coffeehouse may or may not remain closed on Sundays -- Michael P and others are welcome to confirm or refute this -- it seems that THP South branch's Community room _is_ open on Sundays and there are ample table space, accessible WiFi, and electric outlets for laptops and other smaller computing devices. While the BPL library Rules of Use Policy specifically frowns on "meals" consumed inside the library (see
'A Shared Space' section of [2]), apparently "covered drinks and small snacks are okay" to bring inside. This way, those of us who wish can avail ourselves of purchasing beverages such as Thai tea and/or small, non-messy snacks (am thinking of delicious Spring rolls) at the Berkeley Wat Mongkolratanaram Thai Temple’s Sunday brunch (see [3][4]) and then bring these inside for the meetup :-)
