Are other weekday evenings still free ?

It would give us the option of live-feed joint-presentations...

But for me, if it's a Saturday, I'd rather it was _not_ the
last Saturday of the month, because everybody uses that;
I already have the Alliance Francaise 1030-1200 and a film
at the German Club 1400-1700 :-(  For me, taslug would usually
get priority, but I'd prefer any other Saturday.

fair enough, though Karl mentioned

which is also true. It's full of conflicting constraints...
Maybe we should set up one of those online-opinion-poll things ?

23 Sept looks like a Saturday to me, but I guess that will
get clarified in the announcement :-)
