====='''So What's This Meeting About?'''=====
The meeting will be an open forum, in the spirit of an "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-space_meeting|Open Space]" conference.  Bring your questions, ideas, or tricks/technologies that you want to discuss.  Everyone will submit their ideas and we use an [http://blogs.agilefaqs.com/2007/05/|interactive voting game] to vote on those that they are interested in.  We'll then have some open discussions about the most popular topics.

We did this a ways back and it was a lot of fun.  It gives everyone a chance to speak and/or ask questions about things they are interested in, and share ideas.  Very informative, and a great way to get to know your fellow Philly ALT.NET members.

It may sound a little intimidating to some, but rest assured that you don't have to be knowledgeable in any topic to suggest it as a topic for discussion.  You can suggest a topic simply because you want to know more about it, in the hopes that others present are also interested and/or knowledgeable - these are often the best discussions.  On the other hand, if you have something you want to share, you can suggest that as well.  The group will vote and select a few topics to discuss, and we will likely get ideas for future meetings from anything that we can't get to that evening. 

These meetings are more fun with a large group, so I hope you can make it!  The meeting is being sponsored and hosted by Yellow Book, who also happen to be hiring, so come out and see what they're up to!
