G'day folks,
Yes! Thursday is the Termly General Meeting! As I mentioned a few weeks ago, we're planning to have a meal afterwards in the Big Bang[0]. We were planning to have the meeting in a pub beforehand, but someone pointed out that we could just hold the meeting in the Big Bang between ordering food and said food arriving, which sounds like an excellent idea to me. The only drawback I can see is that it makes it harder to come to the meeting and not to the meal. Was anyone planning to do that?

In any case, can you let me know in the next couple of days if you want to come to the Big Bang? This'll let me book a table so that they're not surprised when an army of computer enthusiasts appear and start demanding food.
I'll let you know more about this week's talk (which is on Friday, and involves Murray Stokely of Google talking about their distributed computing infrastructure) soon!
Thanks,
wjt
