[Baypiggies] Mapping/Random Access at tonight's meeting

[Stephen McInerney]

Ok, I agree with 100% of that.

In that case we simply need to time-check the speaker because we
now have a hard cutoff at 8:30pm and we do not want to lose the often
valuable Q&A opportunity at the end of a presentation.

Re mapping and newbies, I meant "I think we should encourage
anyone who wants to spend max 30sec introducing themselves and their
interests, no matter what their level". mainly if they have something to
answer e.g. "looking for help with SQL / Numeric Python / Agile 
Development..."

PS As a result of the mapping I met some folks I have only emailed in the 
past
and got several really useful ideas for possible activities. Details next 
month
at Google... I will tentatively aim to present 15 survey result slides in 15 
minutes,
do the prize drawing in 5 min and then start a interactive discussion, all 
within
a 30?-45min slot. Then we break to your ctypes presentation.
Discussion can continue after mtg?
