Some reactions from others about our SIG in Silicon Valley:
A speaker said this SIG was one of the best groups he   d ever seen.
An intermediate level participant said that even though she didn   t
understand everything during the meeting, she looked over the handouts
afterwards and was able to comprehend the material.
We are looking to expand our efforts to include one or more of the
following:  an intro level tutorial during the first half hour,
            an intro study group,
            an advanced study group  (eg. on D&E or Gamma)
If you are interested in being a group leader, please contact me.
