Meeting mechanics

Doors open at 6:30 pm; the presentation will begin at 7:00 pm; and, yes, there will be beer and pizza.

After the paper is presented, we will open up the floor for discussion and questions.

We have selected a post meetup bar! After the meetup we'll head to Mars bar (http://www.marsbarsf.com/) (798 Brannan St) to have some drinks.

Some changes in format!

Note this time we'll try our hand at a moderated discussion. Use the github thread (https://github.com/papers-we-love/papers-we-love/issues/158) to submit any topics you want discussed.
