[ale] Re: [ale-admin] Offer to host meetings

[Ray Knight]

I personally know at least a half dozen people who don't attend meetings
because they all fall on a Thursday and they have some other commitment
for that weeknight.  Perhaps choosing a different weeknight to host the
meetings, or perhaps even a Saturday afternoon meeting would meet with
some success.  I've attended meetings at all three of the current
locations.  It just depends on my other priorities and the meeting
topic.  If the scheduled speaker is going to talk on something I'm
interested in I'll try to find some way to make the meeting.
