MBMS folks,
|
|
Roberto and I have been mullling over an idea for some time for a final
|
|
project meeting at Angel Island. Roberto's sailboat can accomodate about
|
|
8-10 people across from SF, and mine can accomodate about 6-8. The Angel
|
|
Island setting might provide a relaxed, "detached" setting that might be
|
|
helpful in ruminating/philosophising about our just-completed project.
|
|
what did we do right in the project? what did we do wrong?
|
|
the sail across from sf would take about 1.5-2 hours, so if we daparted
|
|
from here at 10, on say a Friday in late September (Sept 29 tentative), we
|
|
could make it for lunch at a picnic table and then have our meeting. If
|
|
some folks would rather take the public transit route rather than trust the
|
|
helms of Eittreim/Anima, an/or if there is an overflow crowd, we can
|
|
schedule things compatible with the Blue & Gold ferry service to Angel
|
|
Island.
|
|
|
|
An agenda might be the following:
|
|
volume status
|
|
follow-on related work ongoing in FY01
|
|
budget status at end-of-FY
|
|
unfinished busines
|
|
discussion of MBMS project in hindsight
|
|
other items?
|
|
|
|
Is this a good idea?, bad idea? take too much time? are there other
|
|
agenda items that should be included?
|
|
|
|
Give me your feedback on this idea......Steve

MBMS folks,
|
|
the idea of our final project meeting being held on Angel Island (email
|
|
reproduced below) got generally a favorable reception. But many of you
|
|
can't make it Sept 29. How does the following week, Friday, Oct 6 sound to
|
|
you all?........Steve

|
|
|
|
MBMS folks,
|
|
some have suggested that Fridays in general, and especially Friday Oct 6 is
|
|
a bad choice because it is a long holiday weekend and people might be
|
|
heading off early for a trip. Perhaps Thursday, Oct 5 would be better?
|
|
give me your one-liner feedbacks please if you're got some preferences.
|
|
thanks......Steve

MBMS folks,
|
|
There are now 8 of us heading off to Angel Island for our last project
|
|
meeting on Thursday (Anima, Degnan, Lorenson, McGann, Ryan, Wong, Orzech,
|
|
Eittreim). There is a blue an gold fleet ferry leaving for Angel Island at
|
|
11:30 from pier 41 arriving at angel I at 12:25. So any of you who would
|
|
rather take a faster, more stable platform could meet us there in Ayala
|
|
Cove. Roberto and I are planning to push off the dock at South Beach
|
|
Marina at 11 am, so we should be arriving at Angel Island at about 1
|
|
o'clock plus or minus.
|
|
Roberto's boat is 32', mine is 30', so we can easily accomodate 4 in each.
|
|
we will supply drinks and sandwiches, with a cup on the table for donations.
|
|
|
|
So I'm planning to leave Menlo Park at 10am on Thursday, and should be
|
|
arriving at the boat at 10:30 and can take 3 or 4 with me in my car. If
|
|
you're coming from the north or east and want to meet us at the marina,
|
|
look for us going out to F-dock at 10:30. South Beach Marina is right next
|
|
to Pacbell Park. You may have to look around for parking, but I think I can
|
|
get a parking sticker for one other car besides mine to park in the marina
|
|
space.
|
|
|
|
If there are any others who have not yet expressed an interest, we can take
|
|
2 or 3 additional people, still in reasonable comfort. So let me know if
|
|
you're interested.
|
|
|
|
Those leaving from Menlo Park at 10, lets plant to meet at the flagpole in
|
|
front of Bldg 3 and push off at 10. We need one other volunteer driver, if
|
|
there are more than 4 of us leaving from here.......Steve

Sailors,
|
|
Our Angel Island outing on Thursday is now up to 12 participants. Wendy
|
|
Dahl and myself will have cars at the flagpole on Thursday at 10am for
|
|
those of you leaving from here. Some will be joining us at the dock (near
|
|
Harbormaster's shack, or on/at Roberto's boat "Velero" hopefully within
|
|
veiw of Harbormastter's shack? - Roberto will be sailing up that morning
|
|
from Coyote Pt). We should be arriving in cars at 10:30 and leaving the
|
|
dock at about 11am. Depending on weather, etc, I envision getting back to
|
|
the dock at about 5pm, but we can vote on that as our first agenda item for
|
|
our meeting, depending on weather, people's needs, etc. The giants have a
|
|
game at 5:18, so traffic around the stadim will be pretty messy until after
|
|
the game starts.
|
|
See you all Thursday morning. Let me know if you've got any questions,
|
|
loose ends I've forgotten, etc......Steve

Brian,
|
|
Yes, you've been trashing too many of your emails. I've got lunch and
|
|
drinks all taken care of for the Angel Island do. Maybe I'll copy this to
|
|
all so everyone knows that.
|
|
10am at the flagpole for a ride up. Look for me or Wendy.
|
|
Mary, Holly and Jingping are finding their own way to the dock. Keep in
|
|
mind that a light rail line leads from bart to the dock now......Steve
