Our next meeting falls on February 14th, Valentines day. Since it is the holiday all about love, we are going to have a special LUG meeting. We hope that everyone will come and give a short (3-5 minutes) talk about something they love or are passionate about. It could be a cool new program, an open source project you contribute to, or a bit of hardware that is super cute.

For those who don't know, screenscraping is the art of pulling information from the web via HTTP requests and generally parsing the HTML with regex. The talk will most likely be in Python.
There may be a possible recap of a meeting from Beaver Barcamp 8 about rebooting the Open Source Education Lab and role of the OSU LUG within that. We will be starting a "guide sprint".
