The Boston users group is meeting for the third time. We are privileged this time with an outstanding speaker and a world class host location. John Resig will present an overview of his jQuery javascript library. This library is poised for inclusion in Drupal core. jQuery will help us all write cleaner, more powerful javascript which leads to more usable and even AJAXy web pages.
We will be hosted by Leo Burd at the (MIT Media Lab)[http://www.media.mit.edu/]. See the physical address map. Once you get into the building, go down the stairs and then cross the glass doors into the Cube or the LEGO Lab. The Media lab is on the cutting edge of computing, and is well worth a visit. Leo will be showing us around a bit.
Some of us will likely continue the conversation over dinner at a local restaurant.
If there is a good chance that you will attend, please signup using the form below. There are no obligations, though.

Great session
I wanted to thank John for a great presentation, and you, Leo, and everyone else who helped set this up. I regret that since I live out in the boonies, I couldn't stick around. I'll also have to remember for next time to allow extra time to get in from Concord, where I work. (It took me about 15 minutes longer than it usually takes me to get into MIT at 7:30pm, add an extra 10 because I'm not familiar with parking at the east campus.)
I hope that we can continue to have such sessions, but I must ask one thing. The IEEE Consultants Network (http://www.boston-consult.org/) starts up again in September, and their meetings are the fourth Wednesday of the month. While I don't attend all of their meetings, it would be helpful if a different night - perhaps the third Wednesday - could be chosen.
Looking back at the previous meetings, it appears there's been no consistency, so that would at least randomize things. My experience has been that it's usually better to have a fixed schedule, so that people can plan ahead to attend regularly, but that may not be necessary yet for this group. So I'm content with the variations.
Thanks,
Gary
