In the past, the tech brewpubs have centered around a speaker who gives a presentation. Most of the presentations were geared for a non-geek audience, though a few got nitty-gritty. Along with the main presentation, there would be announcements, door prizes, job postings, businesses and contractors would introduce themselves, etc. There were no vendor booths, and very little explicit selling of stuff. This tech brewpub doesn't have a presentation. I don't know what the format will be this week. Three of the SAO Board's five members are new since the last brewpub, so anything is possible. Tech brewpubs might be worth a damn to you if you want to enlarge your circle of fellow geeks or see some fellow geeks you don't see often enough, learn what's going on locally in high tech, learn something about a topic you're probably not familiar with, or drink a beer. -- Bob Miller K<bob> kbobsoft software consulting http://kbobsoft.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list euglug@euglug.org http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
