Ok, I will bring soda and water for about 30 and probably 6 large pizzas, which should feed 20 to 30 people. If fewer show up, we can eat to excess.
Hopefully I remember to bring plates and napkins as well. I'll plan to be there a few minutes before 7pm. Thanks.

We've had a pizza sponsor in the past, but they've stopped showing up (and I haven't been able to get a response to email). People generally don't show up until about 5 minutes before, so having the pizza there about then would be perfect. Historically, we usually get anywhere from 10-30 people at the meetings, depending on the topic. The larger groups are usually for topics about fun hardware things, so I expect we'll probably have 10-15 people. Thanks!
