I may be rather late, depending. That day is busy as heck for me.

Will the meeting be broadcast on Mumble?

No. This will probably be the only in-person member meeting. All other meetings will likely be over mumble.

We could get someone to set up one way communications with mumble

We could do that, but I'd rather not. This is the only planned in-person member meeting, and among a few other things, there are two votes that really need to be taken (consoles and election month). If we make it streamed through mumble, than that might affect member turnout. I want as many members there as possible to really get an accurate representation of the club's decisions on the two issues.

Ideally, members should show up to every meeting. As a bare minimum though, I think members should show up to at least the first meeting of each semester and the election meeting. The only real reasons a member should miss them is if they have a job, class, or some emergency. Streaming it wouldn't help in any of those cases.

Blah, my last class ends at 2:45 PM and I live far away (Don't want to sit on campus for ~6 hours). Won't make it to this one.

This is exactly my feeling toward late-night club meetings. If I had already had to drive to UCF that day, I wouldn't be up for going to a late meeting. I'm only coming because I don't have class at all that day.

Might be able to go. The first UGC 6v6 TF2 match is tomorrow at 9:30 but it's only the preseason match so I'm not sure my team is participating. I'll have to check.

I also vouch for brain's engineering skills. He was quintessential in the last TF2 LANKnights tourney.

[Raven191]

Well trust us on this. GET BRAIN?! I used to think that engineers were just a trash class that anyone could fill, but Brain really shows you how much a GOOD engineer can actually do for a team.
