As such, we will need to meet in the lobby and sign in.  I have spoken with our security officer, and he is looking for an attendee list only, so he is comfortable with a number entering and leaving, and what their name is. <\/p>\n<p>We will need to gather as a group in the lobby, and I will escort everyone to the meeting area.  If there are any late arrivals, just let the guard know you are there for the meeting, and I will be paged to come and get you.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, after some amount of &#8220;hobnobbing&#8221;, we will need to leave as a group.  There are many restaurants &#038; bars in the area to continue conversations at, and I for one wholeheartedly endorse doing so&#8230;I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ll be hungry by then.<\/p>\n<p>Time:<br \/>\nThe reservation for the room is &#8220;7:30 &#8211; 9:00&#8221; but I am told we can stay later if conversation\/lecture requires it.  I will be staying after work, so I will be there if you arrive early, however the group will need to enter together, so come around 7:15 &#8211; 7:30 for convenience&#8217;s sake.<\/p>\n<p>Topic:<br \/>\nI have no idea.  :)<br \/>\nIf we are still without topic right now, I can give a brief presentation about how we employ Linux at TWCi, but it would be a broad, general overview.  Please be thinking about presenting if you have a topic to share.  To make the ALE< =>Twci relationship successful, we need to keep the talks interesting, lively, and profitable.<\/p>\n<p>Facilities:<br \/>\nWe are in the 6th floor corporate conference room.  It has a full wall-sized screen and several LCD panels around the room.  It is run by a PC\/LCD projector combo that I will be obtaining information about using.  More specifically, I will be inquiring about putting a Mac or Linux system on the projector instead, that we might be able to demonstrate straight for our platform of topic.<\/p>\n<p>I am also meeting this week with the network infrastructure manager.  As of right now, we are going to have some sort of access.  Wired access will be easy.  I have also requested a wireless connection, and should have information regarding that request soon.<\/p>\n<p>Refreshments:<br \/>\nI&#8217;m told there&#8217;ll be some lite snacks available in the meeting room.<\/p>\n<p>More information as it becomes available.<\/p>\n<p>Jerald M.
