The next WirelessToronto meeting is on Wednesday February 15th, at the
Centre for Social Innovation, 215 Spadina (between Queen and Dundas),
Suite 120; http://socialinnovation.ca
We've devised a new meeting format, to help everyone make the most of
these monthly gatherings while accommodating the larger number and
wider range of people who've been coming out to the last few meetings.
5:30-6:00: Operations
6:00-6:30: Introductions and project reports
6:30-7:00: New idea presentations
7:00-7:15: We move to the Embassy at 223 Augusta (just south of Baldwin)
7:15-????: Discussions & follow-up & long-windedness & food & drinks
---
Operations: This section is optional, but open to anyone who's
interested. Intended to quickly address group decisions that need to
be taken.
Introductions and project reports: We go around the room and everyone
takes 90 seconds to introduce themselves and/or report back on a
WirelessToronto project group (one representative per project group).
New idea presentations: Introduce new ideas to the group so people who
are interested can get involved and make it a project. This is also
the time when people external to the group would speak about ideas.
We move to the Embassy: To address people's hunger and thirst. It's a
short walk. The location will rotate, but the Embassy has served us
well in the past.
Discussions & follow-ups & long-windedness: An integral part of the
evening, the antidote to the tight-structure of the earlier parts.

If you're new to Wireless Toronto, we recommend that you arrive for 6pm.
If you're already involved with Wireless Toronto, please try to make
it for 5:30pm.
If you just wanto to buy us a drink, come to the Embassy at 7:15.
