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.


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.

Lunch at RochesterFest. We'll be sitting at a picnic table on the far side of the tent from the music, to hopefully lower the decibel level enough to still talk.  Date/time TBD. Gather around our organizer Mark.
