General discussion...

Chris: 
meetups allows annnouncements to twitter/FB
need to setup?

Lauren:
-> More general social event? ED/Lauren working on over new years

Lauren:
We should make it clear we’re welcoming to newbies
and we ppreciate new talks

How?
Be wary of in-jokes, and subgroups forming that aren't so inclusive.
Add some structure with announcements...

Have MC
Welcome everyone, introduce speakers

Have a 'Runsheet' anyone can pick up and run the night: things to do
Possibility: get regular attendees (like Bill :) to be MC, or basically share the role?
