There is no moderator when using this software, so if we get invaded we will have to bail and figure out a different session ID and then also definitely use a password, that'd go out by email and/or wiki update ASAP.
Save time by signing up in advance for a free account at [https://en.boardgamearena.com/ Board Game Arena]  (same place we've been using for several years now, you might already have an account)


Agenda - what would you like to do for our virtual board game night in December?  Do we want a typical 1 hour slot on our usual 2nd Thursday schedule, since there's only so long we can stare at screens?  Or do we want to move to a Friday night and have a longer window, as we would often have historically done in-person?


Anything else you want to see on the agenda?  Let Tim or Tina know.


=== Outside Social:  Friday December 12th ===
Time to be determined, probably ~6 pm

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?  Also see this page for a list of suggested topics http://www.k-lug.org/Meetings
