The schedule shows that tonight's meeting runs from 6-10:
Meeting 4 (Tuesday, July 9, 6-10pm) Led by Steven
Holton
Alternate Installation Methods [LAB 1]
- Kickstart
- Network installs
- Typical install "gotchas"

Steven's reminder below states that tonight's meeting starts at 7:00.

I don't want to be an hour late (or an hour early).  Is it 6:00 or 7:00?
