Mingle (something like "Social Web"):

• Define common ground
  
• Checking on folks who will be going to the June conference in San Jose and what those who aren't able to attend might be interested in finding out.
  
• Take inventory of skills, technologies and interests
  
• Define some goals (even if it is not more than just getting together for brain-dumps).
