      • has been doing demos over past year; now is time to get liasons prepped, so planning to re-institute formal scheduled events

    • two periods: get people in the door for a discussion first, then have the petting zoo (“discussion @ XX:00, followed by an open house/petting zoo/Project Menagerie/DH Melange”)

    • Jen Anderle likes plenty of advance notice; have told her informally that we will have this event, but don't have a firm date yet so left it at that

    • H & Julia have been discussing having separate OJS sessions (also envisioned for Oct)
