• How do we “present” our pattern languages? Linda Rising & Mary Lynn Manns demonstrate an effective way to “present” a pattern language – in a performance – it isn’t Shakespeare, but it works well for patterns!

Stories and Stars
We will join Dave Leake of Staerkel Planetarium and C-U Astronomical Society and Kim Petzing of Allerton to hear the basics of astronomy along with myths and legends of the late summer constellations. Once it gets dark, we'll head outdoors to look for the constellations. A telescope will be provided, but you may wish to bring a pair of binoculars to aid in viewing.
