[wplug-board] Blender event update

[Justin Smith]

Hi, everyone. Here's an update on our plans for the Blender event at next 
month.

The spring semester classes at Pittsburgh Filmmakers end on Tuesday, 
April 29. After that, there will be a short break, and then summer semester 
classes will begin on Thursday, May 8. Since we have fewer classes during 
the summer, we can expect fewer students to be around. 

On the other hand, this means that more professors will be able to attend, 
and we will have greater flexibility in choosing a meeting room. Turnout 
should still be considerably larger than the average WPLUG event.

I sent some basic information about the event to our registrar and asked 
her to pass it on to the faculty. The feedback so far has been very positive. 
People I never expected to respond have said that they're excited about 
hearing Roland's presentation, and our executive director, Charlie 
Humphrey, thinks it's a smart thing to do.

Based on that, I think we have all the support necessary to move forward.

Monday seems to be the "best" day of the week during summer, so I 
suggest holding the meeting on Monday, May 19. We'll have a couple of 
weeks to promote it, and we won't be interfering with people's plans for 
Memorial Day. We could start serving food at either 5:00 or 5:30 and start 
the event at 6:00 or 6:30. 

How does that sound?
