I know most of the university people are off from Christmas to January 5. (me included) I was thinking if any number of people are interested we could get together to sprint for a day.
Any interest? We'd have to see what day works for most people and a location.
Comments
On meetup.com and IRC I've
On meetup.com and IRC I've gotten suggestions for Dec 29 or 30. That would be Monday or Tuesday next week. If we did that, does anyone have a suggestion for a location?
Suggestions so far include Princeton Public Library, which we might have to pay for, some place on Princeton campus, or a business in downtown Princeton. Are there any locations, like an office, people have access to? It does not have to be in Princeton. These are just places we've used in the past, and most of the people I'm talking to are in the Princeton area.
Qualities to look for include: parking, easy to get to, proximity to food and coffee/tea/drinks.
I'm still interested - esp
I'm still interested - esp for the 29th, but 30th might work too.
Ran into Chris in town, and sounded like meeting at his office at IAS might work.
29th is fine for me. IAS has
29th is fine for me.
IAS has good parking during the break, and should be easy enough to get to if you have the address. I asked Chris to check on the door locks. If we work in the lobby lounge, we might need to be aware of people trying to get in.
There isn't much in the way of coffee or food, but we can probably bring stuff in and I'm sure we can have food delivered.
We'll go with IAS tomorrow,
We'll go with IAS tomorrow, Dec 29. Chris will be there around 9am to get access to the building, so plan on getting there a little later. 9:15-9:30. Also, feel free to come whenever you have time.
We can get food delivered, if we want to stay in for lunch.
Here is the location information:
Bloomberg Hall
1 Einstein Drive
Princeton, NJ 08540
(This is not on Princeton University campus.)
Here is a Google Map link:

Campus map:

The main entrance is in the middle of the building, facing Einstein Drive, not the entrance on the narrow end, facing the open field. It is near 'e' on the campus map.
The doors may not be open, but the lounge is right by the entrance, so knock or just get someone's attention to let you in.
