We are going to trial monthly meetings during the day. This will be in addition to the traditional 1st Wednesday 7pm meetings, in a much more relaxed and social format. The first one is scheduled for Monday 21 July at 1pm, deliberately picked for lunch time; it will be "Bring a Plate" to emphasise the social aspect. President David Stonier-Gibson is trying to get a “weighty” speaker, but it's not yet settled. Or maybe he will do a Show and Tell around playing with AI for code generation and some hopefully entertaining AI stuff.

Our Vice President, David Evans, is running his Pot Luck Picks Monday, 14 July at 11am, for an hour. This is where, in a totally informal setting, you can share your story about just about anything you think will be of interest. Just 5 minutes or so, maybe 10 minutes, on your latest hobby project, a movie you watched, or your email exchange with a Nigerian prince. I will be preparing a brief bit of fun with an AI programmed doohickey (David did the long form version at a Probus club the other day, and it was very well received).

Next week, on Wednesday 9 July 10am to 3pm we have the Be Connected Learning. This is open to members and non-members to provide on-the-spot assistance with computer/phone/device issues. It also tends to be a social time, with face to face help. This public-good program complements our members-only iHelp, which is generally delivered remotely. So feel free to tell your friends, even if they are not Melb PC members.
