[CSDM] CSDM Meetings

[Avi Wigderson]

Hi all,

As expected, I got very few responses, but a couple seem to like the 
idea of a lunchtime meeting. Let me propose a day and time (and 
otherwise, will try Doodle). How about this Friday, 12:30? Please send 
me yes/no if you can come, so I'll see if it makes no sense, and use Doodle.

At the very least we can discuss the values of such group meetings, 
frequency, etc. And we can discuss, which always happens in normal times 
at lunches, the two seminars we had this week. Which reminds me - I 
think we have an excellent series of Monday lectures for the Fall, but 
Spring semester schedule is empty. Suggestions of speakers/topics is 
welcome. I care mainly that both the results and the lectures will be 
excellent, and that it will interest/appeal to some large subset of you 
(we are a diverse bunch).

Again, please send yes/no about this Friday.

Thanks,

Avi
