yup -- that's when I wrote/posted it -- for once we're actually ahead of the game :)

[and even though it doesn't show yet, there is already a december meeting announcement posted to the site, however it won't go "public" until the first of november -- it'll probably also say it was created on August 11th or thereabouts...]

BUT... that reminds me: at the "mono" meeting, we did confirm that Chris will present in November, but I don't think I ever got a writeup to post in the first place.  We also got a tentative agreement from Miguel (the driving force behind Mono) to do a presentation sometime next year [he's headed out for a vacation to Egypt in november as I understand, plus he recently broke his elbow (!) so working it in for november just wasn't in the cards...]

Aside: while I'm writing about it, I might as well post this link:

(Todd Bishop cornered a few of us from SGVLUG and we spent a good 15-20 minutes talking about the impact this will have on Microsoft and the industry -- he gave a good [if not lengthy!] treatment of the issue.)

Now, I know there was some interest in getting the "ubuntu world tour" folks to stop by, but to be honest I don't recall all the "hoops" we have to jump through to get their attention [we need something like 20 names of people who say that they'll attend or something like that]  If there is someone who wants to spearhead this [and if the "tour" will still be going on in the january-through-march timeframe] then by all means jump in with both feet!

Likewise there was an item about getting "someone from Novell" to speak [and I suspect more focused on SuSE than on "what Novell is doing in the Unix world in the first place"] -- again, same deal: our meetings are what we make of them, so if you want to see this, please take the initiative :)
