Hey all, glad to see the ball rolling. One thought, wouldn't making the event on saturday make it harder for people to join us? i know it's the best time for most (all?) of us to do it, but perhaps moving it to a week day would help us get a bigger audience? Just a thought
We can discuss the specifics on the meeting scheduled on the 3rd.
