Additionally, we'd like to see everyone come prepared to either pose a question/issue they've ran across in the past month or to share something cool/amazing they've discovered in the past month.
Lastly, please use the comments on this event node to suggest topics. If there is a consensus, we will try to have someone prepared to do an informal presentation.

LOCATION DEBATE

QUESTION
- Do you all want to fight traffic/parking and still meet at the same location?
- Do you have another location to suggest (note that there will most likely not be a tv for us to connect to)?

I don't mind sticking with
I don't mind sticking with The Farm. I figure that by the time we figure out another venue, it's just as easy to deal with the inconvenience of traffic.

I could do either. I could
I could do either. I could bring my little projector if we get a place with a wall but no TV.
We could do it here at this farm!
We don't have reservations for that night, and nothing else is planned. The groups are generally small, so we can all meet on the porch - or the picnic tables and have a campfire afterwards!
We can BBQ burgers (sorry, we're out of hot dogs). And others can bring their favorite food item (including libations).
Also have some newborn pigs (last night/this morning) that people can ooo and awh over.
Conservation Center maybe
I could possibly make it work at the Conservation Center in Concord, but I like the Miles Smith Farm idea better. Can we make the projector work there, Bruce?
Projector
We don't have a real screen, but we have lots of white sheets that we hang during our events.
We also have a projector, but we haven't used it in a while, so you might want to bring your portable too.
The weather is supposed to be nice, so we can hang a sheet on the side of the barn.
WiFi should not be a problem here - we've got a new Unifi external unit that should handle several hundred concurrent connections. And this will be a good test :-)
2 Choices for Location
Looks like we have narrowed it down to two choices:
- Manchester - The Farm Bar & Grill
- Loudon - Miles Smith Farm
Let's take a vote!

vote: Miles Smith Farm
I'd prefer to avoid the Manch madness -- and see the farm.
vote: The Farm Bar & Grille
I can provide directions to come in from 93 (as opposed to 293) directly into the big parking lot out back.

Call it Manchester?
I say we call it Manchester so we can announce the location.
A vote was called...
And I even created the poll!
It doesn't really matter to me whether its at The Farm, or my farm. But the decision should be based on the numbers returned by the poll!
I know, I know ... I'm the only one here who likes to use Drupal's features. :-)
BTW: It was pointed out to me that we could use the 72" monitor we have instead of a projector and screen.
I'm out
Sorry, Bruce, I didn't see the poll.
Turns out I'm probably not going to get there, wherever it's held.
See you all another time.
TONIGHT IN MANCHESTER
Based on conversation & the poll, we will meet at our usual location.
It is best to take I93 to exit 8 (Wellington Road/Bridge Street).

I may be late...
Had to extract server yesterday, and recover and perform deliveries today. Few things are going according to plan.
