I'd vote for reschedule myself -- it seems that this term I am either just
finished lecturing, about to lecture, or both at this time.  Meetings
during the day during the week look like a no-go for me now. :s

It took me a minute to realize that "this isn't a great idea" was a
forward reference to the project idea -- right?

I think that your idea could be interesting of itself -- a really great
way to work out some of our Python topics would be hands-on as an
engineering group, rather than an "armchair society."  I don't know that
it particularly helps for next Tuesday, but in a larger scheme, could be
really cool.

Rather than listen to someone present a solution, we could work it out
while we're there.  This is exactly the dynamic sort of situation that
turns *my* crank. :)

But, again, we're back to logistics. :(  (Even though work on a project
can spread over outside the group meetings...)

Anyone interested in rescheduling from Tues 17-Jan to Sat 14-Jan? 
[There's a 4 week math event starting the 21st on Saturdays, which is why
I suggest moving up, not moving back.]
