| === Technical Meeting / Social: Friday December 11th, 6:00 pm ===
| |
| In December we do something like board or card games, video games, etc because it's just too close to Thanksgiving and Christmas to fit in a social and a speaker.
| |
|
| |
|
| Tina is hosting a gaming night at her house. Email her if you need address and/or directions. Start time is 6:00 pm. Note that this is NOT our usual second Thursday, we pushed it back one night so people don't have to deal with getting to work in the morning.
| | === Virtual Board Gaming Social: Friday December 5th === |
| | 6 pm |
|
| |
|
| We play whatever you bring. Please consider bringing a folding table and chairs, board games, card games, video games, video game system accessories, and/or snacks and beverages. RSVP's of the types of stuff you're bringing would be appreciated so we don't have overstocks of some items such as four people hauling their folding table and chairs, or everyone bringing chips.

| === Upcoming Meeting Crisis! ===
| | MediaWiki help [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Text_color 1] [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_color_formatting_help 2] |
| Well, not really a crisis, but we do need some meeting topics (& speakers) for 2015. We'd like to know what you want to see and hear about. Please email Tina or Jon G 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? Also see this page for a list of suggested topics http://www.k-lug.org/Meetings
