Thanks for summing this up Glen!

Monday's are packed and it would be harder for me to hold Circuit Hacking
Monday with another group in the front of the space. I've also started using
the projector and screen to display schematics from the web for CHM
students.
Travis, are Thursdays impossible for you?  5MoF already uses 3rd Thursdays,
so scheduling lends itself to fortnightly or monthly events, and Programming
for Poets is currently on hiatus.

Having more sessions that use the front projector and screen is a good plan
though, it's a good resource.   I'll give an orientation on using it to
anyone who wants.
