Meeting our TMU Hosts with Dave Mason <https://new.gtalug.org/?p=91>
Dave Mason, Chair of Computer Science at Toronto Metropolitan University,
welcomes GTALUG back to our in-person meeting room. This will be our first
meeting back since COVID, and much has changed (including the name of the
University!)
Date / Time:
September 10th, 2024 19:30 EST
Location:
In Person: TMU George Vari Engineering and Computing Centre, 245 Church
Street (just north of Dundas), Room 201 (See note below)
Online using Nextcloud: https://hub.gtalug.org/call/7m45sf9i
NOTE:
The doors to the building are normally locked. There will be someone from
GTALUG at the doors on the southeast corner of Church and Gould to let
people in. If you come late or don’t see anyone at the door please SMS at
647 657 6575 for THIS NIGHT ONLY. Do not call.
------------------------------
Pre-meeting:
Traditionally many GTALUG attendees have met for dinner at Kabul Express,
126 Dundas East, about an hour before the scheduled meeting. We will try
this again on the 13th, but since the dining options in the area have
expanded dramatically since we last met, we may decide on other locations
for future meetings.

Hello GTALUG,
Due to a misunderstanding we were unable to hold the AGM in October as
planned. However we are on track to do so at our November meeting,
followed by a talk by our own Dave Collier-Brown titled "You Don’t know
Jack about Application Performance."
Our AGM proceedings will start with a treasurer's report, then a vote on
the merger CLUE, and conclude with filling vacant board positions (with an
election if required). Only paid GTALUG members can participate in the
voting.
This is a perfect time to sign up or renew your membership. To do so send
an Interac e-transfer to membership(a)gtalug.org for $20 with your Name and
email address. That's it, you are a voting member!
Thank you, and I hope to see you at our next meeting.
Alan.
