By general acclaim I was asked to include this quote in the minutes:
Alan: "I worked with a group at NOSC that would never tell me what they were doing; I figured out they were displaying cones of threat to aircraft from submarine-to-air missiles, but they would never let me see their cones."
New Business
administrivia
we filled out as bunch of forms for National SIGGRAPH
other ideas
- buy a SIGGRAPH slide set and check it out to members (Nancy may be able to get us one free)
- provide a speaker services for schools
- hold future Executive Council meetings at Mira Mesa library meeting room
- local events, FAQ and other good stuff on our web site
- coordinate with other San Diego groups so our meetings don't collide (i.e., SD Java SIG also meets 3rd Wed.)
