Hey all -
The meetup is on! I confirmed a large room on Thursday Sept 20, from
1-5pm PST at:
Twitter, Inc.
1355 Market St, Suite 900
San Francisco, CA 94103
Please send me a private mail with your name if you'd like to attend,
as I have to give a list to the security folks to let you in the
building.
AGENDA:
If you'd like to add/change anything from the agenda I sent out
earlier, please do! That was intended to be a starting point and not
set in stone.
REMOTE FOLKS:
I don't have a fancy video setup, however we can skype you in on
laptops. If that's something you're interested in we can try to pair
you with a video buddy.
ANYTHING ELSE?
If there's something we're forgetting please speak up :)
