| Keep your eyes open as the evening of the 12th approaches, the weather forecast is questionable and we may need to switch to something with less soggy ground (such as a Pokémon Go walk) or under shelter (dinner somewhere).

| Farm pizza!

|
| [http://dreamacresfarm.org/wood-fired-pizza Dream Acres near Spring Valley], Friday September 27th, 6:45 pm (you're welcome to arrive earlier if your schedule allows, but they're 40 minutes south of Rochester). They state to expect $15-25/pizza. It's a working farm, so please leave the dogs at home. You would need to bring your own beverages and place settings, from the pictures it looks like they'll provide some seating or you can bring your own. I'm hoping by waiting until late in the season, the bugs will have died down, the tradeoff means 6:45 will be pretty close to sunset although we'll still have twilight.

| It can be installed on any X86 or X64 based CPU with minimal memory and storage requirements. I personally use an AMD based Mini-ITX board that does not require a CPU fan with an old 4 port PCIe Intel NIC that supports VLAN tagging and so there are no moving HD parts a small SSD.

| === December Annual Gaming Social: TBD December ===
| |
| Volunteers to host would be appreciated, even more so if your house is accessible to those with reduced mobility. If you volunteer to host, you determine what type of gaming we do (board, card, video).
| |
| | |
| Date - usually the Friday after the technical meeting 2nd Thursday, so that would be Friday December 13th. But if you're the host, you can make the date fit your schedule.

| === Upcoming Meeting Crisis! ===
| |
| We need some meeting topics (& speakers) for 2019. We'd like to know what you want to see and hear about. Please email Tina with suggestions for topics. Should we run some previous sessions again (maybe something you really wanted to see but missed out on)? What type of topics are good, what type are bad?
