Hey this sounds awesome and there's definitely more to the SRF than C++ and lab coats (at least for some of you, right?). I say the library talk sounds interesting, as do the markets and the talk by that hot guy (some designer I think you said) and the fink thing too. And the photography from the 50s too. Going to check my calender...
What a tasty looking smorgasbord you’ve put here Carmel! Makes me feel a little greedy and squirmy.
