Title: February Meeting 2013 Location: Tim Horton’s, 660 Eagleson Rd, Kanata Link out: Click here Description: The location will be the Tim Horton’s on Eagleson. The location we have been meeting at regularly for the last year or two. The Tim Horton’s in Bells Corners turned out to be a dissapointment due to a very small interior. Topics: How about what are people working on? What seems to be the growing trends?

Title: 2013 January Meeting Location: Tim Horton’s, Fitzgerald Rd. @ Robertson Rd. Link out: Click here Description: First meeting of 2013. Some discussion of LISA'12, LOPSA discussion, a little discussion on my documentation quest and anything else people want to bring up. The location is a little small, but given our attendance in the past, this shouldn’t be a problem. The place is laid out like a small upscale coffee shop, possibly with less seating than the old Bells Corners location.

Here are a selection of the photos I took at the conference. Once again, it was great. Unfortunately, I managed to catch a cold so I missed the conference reception cruise around San Diego harbour. Being dizzy and on a boat are not two things to mix on purpose. Img 2490 Img 2492 Img 2498 Img 2523 Img 2526 Img 2527 2 Img 2527 Img 2528 Img 2529 Img 2532 2

Title: December Meeting: Annual Social Location: Mill St. Brew Pub Link out: Click here Description: Party Time. As there are celebrations, gatherings and feasting at this time of year, it is only appropriate that we partake of the festive spirit and get together for a meal instead of our usual chit-chat. Spouses welcome. Of course, if there are technology related discussions, that would be normal for this crowd. Start Time: 19:00
