Re: November BADGE meeting ...

There were numerous email SNAFUs (bounced email, mail held for 5 days as
undeliverable, etc.) which caused tacit assumptions ("silence is consent" :-)
about the scheduling changes.

We're OFFICIALLY blaming the confusion on the Internet Virus since the mail
routing passed thru many affected sites.

To avoid future fiascos, we've all exchanged voice phone numbers to expedite
communication.

I attempt to post the "official" meeting notice approx. 7 days before the
event since:

1) meetings are normally the 3rd Thursday of each month, and

2) experience has shown that a 2-week prior posting will be "forgotten" or
   expired, and a 1- or 2-day advance notice won't reach all sites.

All always, I have a ASCII "Badge Map" (roughly) detailing the directions to
the meeting site; I was just presented (yesterday) with an official Stanford
map that I'll digitize and make available to anyone who asks.

Advance notice of December 1988 meeting:

Thursday, Dec.15, 1988, Turing Aud, Stanford campus

Stu Ferguson discussing "User Interface Design" using MODELER 3D as an example.

Jan. 1989 meeting will hopefully feature Jon/Don/John (cannot read my OWN
handwriting!) Meissner (sp?  (will be corrected on official posting)) formerly
of Lattice/SAS speaking on Lattice 5.0
