Rob,

I think that would be great. What's the possible range of dates for
this? Would a weekend day be best?

The weekend of October 19th is already taken up by Hackmeet.  The 2nd
and 4th Sundays of the month have a movie making meetup so are probably
non-optimal.

By the way, right now a lot of Noisebridge people are at Toorcamp and so
might not be reading the list.
