Hello everyone! First off, thank you to everyone who responded to our meeting survey. Our meeting time will be *6:00 to 7:00pm every Thursday in room 354*. For those of you who attended last semester, it will be in the same room. I am reminding all of you to that *Facebook's talk *is* tomorrow, Tuesday 18th *from *6:30 to 9:30pm* in the conference room (CoC 354). The event link is http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=137557776303747. Kari Lee, an engineer at Facebook, will be there to talk about her journey to Facebook. We will also be hosting our *kick-off event* this *Friday, January 21st *from *5:30 to 7:30pm* at the Chow Baby <http://www.therealchowbaby.com/> on Howell Mill Road. The event link for that is http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=191773927503279. The event details are on the page, but to refresh: we will be meeting in front of the CoC and leaving together from there. We also request that attendees bring $5 each to help cover the bill. That is all of the news I have for you all today. Our first meeting will be January 27th after everyone has had time to settle down and actually go to a class or two. As always, questions and comments can be directed to me ( lhuynh@gatech.edu) or Alissa Hartenbaum (ahartenbaum3@gatech.edu). I hope to see you all tomorrow!
