meta-discussion

Today's Barcamp meeting at our all-new. all-virtual Bucketworks West location went fairly well, all things considered. Which is not to say that it went poorly in anyway, it's just, you know, something to consider. I am not alone when I say that I really can't wait for October 13 to get here so we can start taking action on this stuff. Barcamp Milwaukee 2 should be something really great.

There are some things we still need help with, however.

1. First and foremost, we need a bandwidth solution. If you or someone you know can throw us a few bones, we need some kind of high-speed solution piped into 1555 Rivercenter Dr. in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand we have the lines all worked out so all we need is to connect to the outside and our toobs will be phat, right?
