Siam's House has been suggested for the location of the
second meeting.

  Siam's House / EAOA aIeOEi
  7742 N. Milwaukee,
  Niles, IL. 60648 
  Tel. 847-967-2390

  It's just north of Touhy & Harlem, so a bit easier for suburban
  folks and O'Hare area folks to get to.

This sounds good to me.

Suggested topics? I am excited about the new sockets package.
Perhaps we can play around with it and report on it at the
meeting.


For anyone curious about the first meeting:

The first meeting was at Sun Wah on W. Argyle, Feb 6 at 8:00 pm.
I can add more details later. Four of us showed up, and we 
met and talked about how we use Tcl. 

People attending:
[sheila], 
add your name here?

I had a few emails from people who were not able to make it, and
I am hoping that placing the meeting at a more convenient time and
place will pull everyone in.

[MDD], will you be able to make a meeting this time?

''When is it going to be? - [MDD]''

[sheila]: How is the first week of April?

[MDD]: Sounds OK.

'''Potential topics for TUG meetings'''

Since I work on an automated test platform for box testing,
I'd like to trade ideas with people about all things testing.
I'm also interested in using the test library for integration
testing, and would like to hear success stories about this.

Performance/load testing? Is it easily doable with Tcl?

I'm also interested in tutorials or discussions on stubbing
old libraries. We have a lot of these from our earlier days
and we've just been recompiling with every release of tcl. ugh.

Making faster/better server/clients.

I am self taught and have many gaps in my tcl knowledge and
would love to meet people and discuss ideas and learn more
in general.

Please add to the list.

'''On the location of the meetings'''

I want to include as many people as possible in the Chicago area.
Perhaps we can alternate locations -- Chicago, Suburbs, etc.
Please post suggestions here. I will also try to find a place more
conducive for lecture-type of activities.

[MDD]: Where do people live?  I'm in Wheaton.

[sheila]: I live near Lawrence and Kimball, but
work in Schaumburg.


'''On the frequencey of the meetings'''

Monthly?

'''On the Tcl Conference this year'''

It's just a short drive away. Carpooling?

If anyone will be giving a presentation there, they can
beta test it on us.
