We currently have no meeting topic. You can come to RCTC's HA104, find a janitor to open the room, and discuss whatever geeky topic crosses your mind. Or you can go to X-Games, although so far nobody has RSVP'd that they're going to be there. And/or, if you have IBM campus privledges, you can attend PCIG's presentation on VMware on Thursday August 10th.

Join us for a round of shoe throwing at East Park, 6:30 pm. If people have better equipment to bring/share, we can hopefully upgrade from shoes to golf disks (if you missed the last social and are confused, we're playing frisbee golf). Lightening or hail, stay home. Otherwise we play rain or shine.
