My alternate proposal is that we have a simple meet and greet night. All
"open space" the entire night. Since many people will have gone to the OLPC
presentation the night before, I suspect our attendance will be quite low.
(Many people can't make it to two events in the same week) I also think
planning a Newbies Night for May would be better - give us some leadtime.
(Since our leadtime basically got derailed by the OLPC conversation this
month..)
