[TriEmbed] [TAR] Re: Meet Sopo - your own personal robot!

[Jon Wolfe]

The registration now says it's closed, is that because it is "full", or because I'm late in trying to sign up?

We currently only have 10 registered attendees for tomorrow night's meeting, which is much less than normal.

So, I am curious:
   * is the topic not interesting (possibly too commercial and not technical)?
   * is it the extended holiday affecting the signups?
   * or are more people planning to attend, but just have not signed up yet?

Signing up allows us to know how much food/drink to order - at times I have ordered too much (wasting money) and other times I have not ordered enough (and we run out quickly before people who registered get there).  So if you think you will be there, please sign up.

And I am open to suggestions on how we can make the meetings better - so if you have some ideas, or topics you want to hear, let me know.
