This month we’re going to forgo the normal presentation route and replace it with food and drink. Come and join us at Buffalo Wild Wings in Defiance, OH at 7pm on the 17th instead of our normal meeting place. Please RSVP on the mailing list so we can gauge how large of a table we’ll need.

In addition to talking shop, we’ll be giving away a coupon for a free e-book from O’Reilly Media. Show up and a computer will randomly determine who gets the coupon!
