[Dev] Reading Circle

[dev@trilug.org]

Cool.. so far it looks like we have at least some interest from at least:

myself
Mike Mueller
Brent Verner
Matthew Todd
John Davis

as well as a co-worker of mine, and a guy I go to school with.  That makes,
uhhh, 7.  That seems like a sufficient number to me.
I guess the next step is to settle on three key things: location, date(s)
and time.  We might also need to take our discussion offline
since I'm not *sure* this is technically on-topic for this list.  It's
about development, granted.. but there's nothing Linux specific
about Design Patterns...

Course, I guess we could argue that it's on topic, because our next book
might be "GNU C++ for Linux" or something. :-)

Anyway;...  what do you all want to do about date, time and location?  As
far as date(s) go, I'm pretty much limited
to weekends, because I have class at Wake Tech, Monday thru Friday.  So,
Sat. or Sun is my only real option.
I don't really have a preference.  Whatever everybody else wants, is good
with me....

Location isn't a big deal to me... I'll happily drive a decent distance, to
make our meeting point somewhere
central for everyone.  I figure we have a few choices for meeting place:
somebody's house, somebody's office,
a public place like a library or bookstore, or, uhmm... well, that's about
it I guess.  Anybody got any suggestions
or want to volunteer a spot?

Time isn't really an issue for me either, except I'm not much of a morning
person. So,  I hope not too many
people want to meet too awfully early....  I especially like to sleep in on
Saturday. :-)


Anyway, that's my thoughts on the thing...  let's put our heads together
and see if we can come up with something
to accomodate everybody.

America is at war with Afghanistan.  America has always been at war with
Afghanistan.  Russia is our ally.  Russia has always been our ally.

Read Orwell's 1984.  Read a newspaper.  Fear the future.

The history of liberty is a history of resistance. The history of liberty
is a history of limitations of governmental power, not the increase of it.
- Woodrow Wilson Speech in New York, September 9, 1912

Those who are willing to sacrifice essential liberties for a little order,
will lose both and deserve neither. - Benjamin Franklin
