No Meeting on August 31; return to normal schedule 9/7

0

Our apologies, but we are not able to have a meeting this week at Berkman. j is out of town on a well-deserved vacation, and Erica is both moving on Friday morning, and currently sick.

If people would like to independently arrange to meet elsewhere or to have dinner, feel free to plan something in the comments or on the discussion list. If something is planned, I’m happy to post it to this blog.

We will be meeting, at Berkman, on September 7. Zachary Braiker is scheduled to lead discussion that week.

No Meeting on August 24

Neither Erica nor j can attend the meeting on Thursday, August 24, so the group cannot meet at Berkman. If people want to organize dinner or some other activity for the group on their own, fabulous!

We’ll be back at Berkman on August 31.

2006/08/17 Proposed Agenda

Don’t forget: the Berkman Center moved to 23 Everett Street in Cambridge. A few weeks ago, the Berkman Center for Internet & Society moved to a large, yellow Victorian building at 23 Everett Street. The conference room we will use for the meetings is on the second floor. It’s number 202. It’s just across from the elevator and to the immediate right of the stairs. (No, it’s not the men’s room.) The building is a short distance from Baker House, where we used to meet.

  • Upcoming events of interest:
    • Summer vacation
    • Moving
    • PodCamp, September 9-10
  • Various upcoming & potential stuff on our schedule:
    • Sept. 7: Zach would like to present on something on something

    • IRC chat
  • 2006/08/10 Proposed Agenda
