In addition to our monthly meetings described above, we've had our own local meetings and work sessions and training sessions: Note: I'm making up this chart by backtracking through my calendars and my memory. . . and I have a great forgetter. So PLEASE correct this, add to it, edit it. . . there have been other meetings/events that I wasn't at, but they should be added. Let's fill in as much history as we can and then try to do a good job going forward of adding to this.

Note #2: Looks like this is as good a place as any to list our future meetings. So come to this page to see when we're meeting next and then after we meet, all we have to do is update it with who came and what we did.
