(Where?) Do these meetups have any form of structure to them, or is it just eating, drinking, and hanging out?

It's an opportunity to chat with new & old friends face to face. The venue is a restaurant, so there isn't always space for everyone to sit together, but a few (large) groups should be feasible. The weather on Thursday is supposed to be very cold. Bundle up!

Message-ID: <87zj9srmhy.fsf@zpob.site.sys> It was nice to see everyone last night. We were 15 all told. It would be great to get together again in a month or two. 15 was too much to comfortably chat with more than neighbors at the tables at Mary Chung, which we overflowed twice as people arrived. Cambridge Brewing Company presents a similar situation. It could be nice to hold the next gathering as a kind of party, or reception, with a space that allows for mingling, drinks, and hors d'oeuvres. I'm not local to Boston, so if you know of such a place, please let me know. See you next time!

Demonstrations: Abstracts of up to 2 pages for demonstrations of tools, libraries, and applications. Tutorials: Abstracts of up to 4 pages for in-depth presentations about topics of special interest for at least 90 minutes and up to 180 minutes.
