(LT36T7 Alert: this listing will be drastically "shortened". As these tracks are under development, it is only long now to temporarily bring forward & together all the relevant details for leaders-especially to know, flesh-out, & review, after which the bulk of this text will be factored away into a few shared http://JotHere.com posts which this listing will simply link to, rather than have those details here.)

5. (LT0PM2 Venue:
   1. (LT0POX NEW EXCITING VENUE, custom-made for software developers!  After weeks of searching and several venues I looked into, I had the great fortune to find the venue listed above, a modern programming language training center seating ~40 and centrally located in OC (by the 5 & 405 freeways & OC Airport). Plus they offer numerous programming & software developer classes, including on Java, Android, and JavaScript.  And, while their classes aren't cheap, they put absolutely no pressure nor expectation on us to take their classes and are delightfully nice to provide their facility to us the public Android community.
      (LTYPBC=You are welcome to bring food (but not pets) as long as you don't make a mess.))
       
   2. (LT0PNH PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SUGGEST MORE VENUES. --We can always more and sometimes need backups. "POST UR VENUE SUGGESTION AS A NEW THREAD(named by venue name) IN OUR FORUM 4IT: Our Message Boards Venue Forum LH2C7F")

   4. (LT0DIS LSZ1QK Additional Discussion prior, during, & after, including any advertising & detailed planning & reports from this event.)

9. (LT2PLN Additional Planned Listing Changes, in order
   1. (LT33V0 This listing will soon be becoming a LOT shorter (up-front) & universal.
      (LT32YT Right now this listing features all the urgent initial details up-front
      (LT33SD especially since it's simpler to build it (flesh it out) that way initially and these need to be reviewed and developed, but as that is done)
      (LT33ZW but the drawback of course is this makes a fairly long listing plus tons of text which would be repeated & maintained repeated))
      (LT33WI Well I'll have none of those woes! The details up-front (so would be repeated) will drastically reduce, and the listing will become more universal, as:
      (LT33ES virtually all of its text which repeats between its meetups will be factored out, instead replaced with just a link a http://JotHere.com post (see one at the start) giving/to-give the details that stay the same between meetups. )
      (LT33H0 moreover, text which can be shared between meeting tracks will also be shared, so for instance, 2 Developer tracks & 1 User track will all share the same post giving the Agenda plus attendee criteria.)
      (LT33KA moreover, text which can be shared by different (Meetup groups) will also be factored out to instead refer to a single post (instead of being repeated), for instance post of the agenda for Intermediate-to-Advanced Developers' Meetups can also be used for iPhone meetings, SQL meetings, etc, not just Android)) )
   2. (LT32HY This listing is very important, as, becoming obvious soon, this listing is designing to be a template for a lot more event listings.
      (LT32T4 From most to least obvious, indeed expanding in this order, this is to be the template for:
      (LT32TH the events in this track)
      (LT32TW the events in all other specialty tracks: Intermediate+Beginner Developer, User, Hack Nights)
      (LT32U4 the OCAndroid General Meetings and soon all OCAndroid events
      (LT335O As all OCAndroid leaders, including all incoming, will be using this listing format, so I will soon have incrementally asked all of them to post their feedback on this listing in it's LSZ1QK Additional Discussion) and discuss & incorporate that)
      )
      (LT32UM the listings of other meetup groups subscribing to its public listing format, starting with other similar technical groups
      (LT33AH --yes, this listing format is to be strong enough to set up similar meeting tracks in other groups, including ones on rather different topics!)))
      (LT32VO As such, it's fairly important to get this listing as well-done as possible as it aims to be copied & maintained all over the place!))
