Annual Festivus

Ladies & Gentlemen:

Your help is needed in planning the annual SCOSUG Festivus. The venue has been tentatively chosen, but before any arrangements are made, we need to decide on days we’d like to choose from to have the party & approximately how many people are planning to DEFINITELY be there.

This topic will close at 5:00 pm Eastern on Saturday, December 8th.

Our regularly scheduled meeting date would be Wednesday the 20th. Does that work for people? It would be good for me.

I think, at this point, we should schedule the annual festivus for early January. My schedule for the next 2 weeks is booked solid and I’m sure most other people are the same way. Should we try for January 3rd or January 10th?

Considering that I completely forgot, I agree :-)

Hows the festivus meeting for the first meeting in Jan? We can have our regular meeting then go out for dinner / festivus?

I concur.

Sounds good.

Next “regular” meeting would be next Wednesday, January 17th. Perhaps something “fancier” than a diner? I’m not as familiar with the area around ISG’s/DSL.net’s new digs as some of you are, so I’m leaving that up to those who know the area better.

A Google Maps search for “restaurants near Wallingford, CT” (here) lists a lot of choices.

Some of us have been to Louie’s Pizza on Rte. 5, and thought that it might have a room suitable for the size of our current membership.

Fancier then a diner is Louies Pizza? :-)

For sitdown places I think there is Georges, Westbrook Lobster has a room (upstairs?) or we can always just go to the bar :-)

Its february, I finally got the FL trip out of the way, so I am free to think about our next meeting!

Are we still going to do dinner somewhere? Do we want to have a real meeting and then dinner? Whats everyones feelings… come on, share with me…

I’m always game for meeting up for dinner somewhere! :)

I may be able to be persuaded into doing a basic talk on the VM technology that Debian seems to have embraced – OpenVZ – when we finally break down and have our next real meeting. There’s not a whole lot to it really, but at least it’s a topic to consider for a future meeting. We could compare it against Xen, VMWare, etc.

This week is valentines so probably busy for most of us. Hows next week sound, one weeknight? Wednesday? Tuesday?

The only night during the week that’s no good for me is Tuesday. I have school until 10:20. Any other night is fine. I’m leaving the timing up to you guys since I know how crazy things can be for all of you. I’m gonna pull a total “guy” move on this one and say Just tell me when & where to show up. ;-) C

We COULD try to get the back room at Natas and have a real meeting / dinner, OR we could just have dinner. If we just have dinner I say Wednesday next week we just go.

Sounds fine to me. We should perhaps tie this into that mass mailing mentioned in the other thread.

Make it so.
