On the 23rd (Thursday), there's a GSoC welcome reception. We could do something in the afternoon, or something in the evening on Wednesday the 22nd.

Are people allergic to coming up to San Francisco? It would probably be easier for me to get GitHub to organize something up there, but if everybody is already in the valley, it may be easier to do it down there.

I guess maybe the simplest thing is to take a poll. People can email me off-list and I'll report the results.

Imagine I am booking a restaurant or similar venue for say, 4 hours. There will be food and drinks, and gits will wander around and talk to each other. Please tell me:

  1. If you are interested in coming.

  2. What days/times work. The options are:

     a. Wed, Oct 22, evening
     b. Thu, Oct 23, afternoon
     c. Sun, Oct 26, evening

  3. Where you are coming from (i.e., where would it be most convenient
     to hold it; SF, MTV, San Jose, etc).

If there's sufficient interest and agreement on times, I can look into booking something. Please limit this to people who are git contributors. I will not be picky about reading your shortlog output, but I would prefer to keep it to members of the development community, not just random git users.
