(???) 2009: Everyone, please open your maps to page 2...
What's more fun than finding platform 9 and 3/4 at the local train station? How about the satisfaction of being the one to "put it on the map"?

Keysigning party at the next meeting
If you have a PGP/GPG "key" that hasn't had a new signature on it for the last year or so, time to dust it off and attend our next meeting.
