− | ## Chair
| + | |
− | ### Weirdness with summer slam: We were only listed on some invites. A small group of WPLUGers showed up. Vance sent Jared a thank-you. This seems a good event for WPLUG to attend. Distinctive clothing is more or less mandatory (otherwise we just blend in). Seems wise to have a strategy for next year, since evangelism and job hunting seem contradictory to each other. It may be possible to put up a table for next year. A Summer Slam wiki page might be worthwhile.
