Lunch: Thursday January 16th

11:30 am, Apache Mall food court, near B&N.

Social: Saturday January 11th, 2014

We're off to the Children's Museum! The one here in Rochester, so no need for a big trip. Event 10 am - __, with plans to stay at least through 11:30 for the 11-11:30 special event physical activity since the kids need to burn off some extra energy.

Always felt too awkward to go to a Children's Museum without a kid of your own in tow, or your kids were "too old" to want to be used that way? Come hang out with the group, and feel better that at least some of us are bringing kids. Do be aware that the MCM-Rochester's policy on adults attending without kids is that you will be required to show photo ID.

$5.50/person for ages >=1. $1 discount with proof of AAA or AARP membership, or military ID.

1643 North Broadway Street, Suite A

River Center Plaza

Rochester, MN 55906

That's across the street from Silver Lake Foods, in the same strip mall as La Fiesta, and across the parking lot from Wendy's.

Afterwards, anyone interested can walk next door for lunch at Kingdom Buffet (Chinese). Prices here: http://www.kingdombuffetofrochester.com/rochester-mn-chinese-buffet.htm Their re-designed website doesn't seem to have the discount coupon any more, let me know if you spot one.

Technical Meeting: Thursday January 9th, 2014

Kyle Jervis will talk to us about bitcoin, including a lot of time for Q&A.

--

Bitcoin is decentralized peer to peer money. There will be a brief overview of the system in the context of previous electronic money systems and show how bitcoin solves the problems encountered by them. There will also be a technical introduction to the inner workings of the system (cryptography, network, transactions, scripts, etc.) The remainder of the session will be Q&A/discussion. Questions on virtually any bitcoin-related topic are welcome.

Here are the slides from his presentation.

6 pm, in or near RCTC Heintz Center's HA107.

Also on the agenda: The annual K-LUG coup attempt (ie officer elections), and round 1 of PCIG officer nominations. Anything else you want to see on the agenda? Let Tim or Tina know.

I'm sure we'll have something eventually.... ;)
