We're headed to Social Ice (aka SocialICE), an [https://www.downtownrochestermn.com/events/socialice outdoor ice bar on the downtown Peace Plaza], which if the -25 degree windchills as I'm writing this is any indication, will have no issues with melting or crowding this year (it's Minnesota, that may change).
6 pm, in or near what used to be RCTC Heintz Center's HA108.  We aren't moving, but the building numbering scheme is being re-done, so as of March 20th this room will now be known as H1411.  If anyone finds updated maps, please let us know.

When and where?  The group attending the technical meeting will head there whenever it's a good time to have wrapped up the presentation, and they'll have their own meet up location chosen. So plan to attend the technical meeting first.

If you're looking to upgrade, have complaints about Netflix constantly buffering, or want to make sure your network is secure, this ones for you.


This presentation will be recorded, FYI if that bothers you. For those of you who don't make it, look for the recording afterwards.
