Jillian,
I'm not sure if you are on our list for you to have received Ganesh's email
(question about WiFi below).
I see you do have WiFi at the library:
Is the signal in the Reference floor conference room good?
And how many electrical outlet plugs are in the room?
(I could bring my surge protector with 5 outlets on it if needed.)
Thanks,
Jesanj

Hello Jillian,
The timing, 2:30 pm to 6 pm is good. I have updated the signup page with
the information.

I will be bringing a laptop. I hope others will too. Do you
have WiFi access at the library?
We do not have any meetups planned before November 19th. I will let you
know about future meetups well in advance.
Thanks for your support.
Ganesh
