I see the same standards for all announcements.  I am proposing something 
for all of us to follow.  The fact is, most recruiting announcements have 
been made by regular members on behalf of their employers.  Believe me, if 
someone is looking for a job and another member says "I have a job 
available at PyStartUp" the audience member who is interested is counting 
the seconds until they can make a beeline to talk to the person with a job.

Having *short* mapping announcements is respectful of everyone's time: the 
interested and uninterested alike.

The 8:30 is an agenda target.  If and as we start having a published 
agenda, we can tweak the target, with the objective of meeting 
it.  Tonight, there are two important agenda items prior to mapping/random 
access.  They may run over but shouldn't.  Let's see.
