The November meeting will be held on 11/7 at 6:30 PM.
This month’s talk will be given by Jeff Rinvelt. Jeff’s worked at quite a few startups and has an interesting perspective on the process. He did a talk last year about dealing with Venture Capital groups. In this talk he’ll be talking about HOW to start a company and When not to:) Over the years I’ve taken some ideas that I thought were great to Jeff only to have him destroy them piece by piece. Most of the time I’ve listened to him. Anyway, this topic has come up quite a bit recently so I thought it would be a great session.
We will likely be taking a break for the December meeting since everyone with a key to the space will be leaving for Kalamazoo 2 days later:) We can talk about it at the meeting.

Directions to the space: 310 South Ashley Ann Arbor, MI 48103
This is right next door to the old Nalli’s building up from the Fleetwood diner. It’s a rather anonymous building. There will be a sign in the front window with the DC734 front page on it. Knock and if no one answers call Dan’s cell or Scott’s cell. (Cell phone defense in depth)
The September meeting will be held on 9/5 at 6:30 PM.
Do over! 
Chris Myers is going to lead a discussion around web technologies.
Chris has developed a sweet tooth for some of the developing web tech
and will be talking about it. Should be a good discussion, I know we
have some folks with some good knowledge about web tech and Chris is
generally obsessive about things which ends up working out good for
us.
For October we’ll have a guest that will be talking about the history
and technology around tattooing. She’s a Michigan based artist. I’ll
have more info on this coming up.

The June meeting will be held on 6/6 at 6:30 PM. (I’ll be there by 6 just so it’s a nice round 666.)
This month’s discussion will be lead by the Vault of Midnight crew. They’re going to give us an overview of some new and cool board games and give us a chance to play some of them. Should be a really
interesting discussion and will give us all a chance to meet some of the folks from the Vault.
(Not to mention a chance to try and beat Kevin at a game.)
We will likely cancel or move the July meeting since it falls on 7/4.
Hope to see you there.

The May meeting will be held on 5/2 at 6:30 PM.
For this month’s meeting we’re having a casino night! Bring your card counting skills for blackjack and we’ll also have a small poker tournament with a nominal buy-in. Come and watch me drop my cards in the first 15 minutes!
I should be able to announce the June meeting in the next week. If you’ve got a presentation please let me know. -

The April meeting will be held on 4/4 at 6:30 PM.
This month’s talk will be given by Josh Christie. He’s going to lead a discussion around the security of cell phone traffic. He’ll speak on the issues around text messages and voice traffic over the cell networks. Josh raised this topic last month and was foolish enough to agree to be the speaker in April.
I’ll be out of town for the meeting, so please treat Josh to some seriously difficult questioning. ;P As usual, I will have a flagon of Josh’s favorite drink ready for him, as it is to everyone who elects to speak…<elbow>

The March meeting will be held on 3/7 at 6:30 PM.
This month’s talk will be given by David Mortman. He’s going to lead a discussion around traveling without ID. I’ve heard about people doing this but haven’t actually ever spoken to anyone who’s done it.
David has and I was amazed how easy it is to do. You’ll want to take notes on this discussion:)

Ok the break is over!
The first meeting of 2007 is on Wednesday 2/7 at 6:30 PM. I don’t have a presenter yet so I may be opening a discussion on a couple topics I’m working on.
We’ll also be giving a fond peace out to David Helder who’s leaving us for sunny CA. (He does have a guest room I hear:)
Looking forward to seeing you all!
