That's okay.  Noisebridge will have [ml] again someday.  This is part
of the 'life happens' or 'U23' design pattern as described in the
hackerpsace design patterns document by skytee, pylon, and jens.

Well this happens, and other new people *are* interested in holding a
ml class, so perhaps we could start by organizing a reunion.

Mike has the right idea! Anyone else listening?  We will need to ask
on --discuss, then when everything is planned go ahead and send a
schedule to --anounce.

We could hold a one-time event, gauge response, then let people at it
if they want to plan weekly or monthly ongoing events.
