[OTT_OSGEO] Meeting Thursday October 5

[Pagurek,Debbie [NCR]]

Hi David,
just a point of clarification - what is the location for the meeting?
The text says clocktower brew pub but the google link says patty's pub.
 
I'm planning on being there (whichever location it is!).

Hey Folks, 

For our next venue for our meeting I thought we could try out the
Clocktower Brew Pub. 

This venue will allow us to have our own space in their basement from
6-7pm. Which will be perfect to ensure we keep the organized component
to a minimum. Their basement is set up for food and drink and server
will be through.

If you can drop me a line letting me know if you are planning to attend
that would be great. Our booking is tentative until I get back to them
with numbers. I just need a rough estimate. I would like to firm up
plans soon, but I don't want to rush people.

This venue has wireless internet, which will be great for our
presentation by Mike Adair on Map Builder.
