who is who and working on what?
who wants to join a project? Everybody knows what to do tonight? (Can always move mid-evening, too.)
join the IRC channel, and know about the website/wiki/Github!
ordering food? Make list.
we need to leave at 9 PM, so we wrap up at 8:50 PM. Let's take a break ~7:45-7:50 PM to move the legs, grab a beer or cider, or just continue coding or learning.
wrap up:
present something from time to time, micro presentations. (Could be on an evening shared with other groups via conferencing)
