Hi folks,

I just reserved the room, so we're all set again for the same location in October. Unfortunately, Webster has no sign identifying it - look for the building with "Geology" above the door and a series of names carved in the stone band in between the first and second floors. As with last time, there's wifi available for guests, a projector, and workstations, along with ample seating. Here's a google map view of the college campus, and here's a screencap with Webster, the Lord Jeff, and the campus loop map highlighted.

I have a scheduling conflict and unfortunately won't be able to make it to the meeting, but could someone mention that I am looking for Drupal volunteers to get involved with the RideBuzz project www.RideBuzz.org. I will see if someone can be present there for me.

Thanks
Jeff
