hi Eric,

i'm working at the polls right now and so couldn't come even if there were a 
meeting tonight.   (brought my OLPC and found an open ap in the neighborhood)

i appreciate all the work to do meetings, we host the perl mongers at Alembic.
if i could cram more time in i would help.   i don't mind occasional meetings
when a speaker is available or merging with nblug is ok too.

thanks for the efforts you and the others have put into socosa.

-ron
