Whatcha want to know?

Generally speaking, most meetings consist of everyone showing up, mulling around and chit chatting, then the speaker does their thing, then frag swap time (usually there is some pizza thrown in at some point also).

It's usually quite informal and relaxed. The only things to keep in mind are;
-It's polite to wait til frag swap time to start frag swapping.
-It's polite to not be noisy when the speaker is speaking
-Your best bet is to try to be friendly and introduce yourself a lot.
-If you don't know anybody yet, find me, I'll be with the library books. I'm not the best conversationalist, but I'll point you toward plenty of people who are

HTH
