What I love about Lion (PDF, 5.3 MB)
In August Apple representative Aaron Davis gave a presentation on Lion, the new Mac operating system. The September meeting will offer a Pi perspective on Mac OS X 10.7. Come hear Larry Kerschberg, Lawrence Charters, and others expound on the wonders and warn of the pitfalls of Lion. Learn what Lion means to you from Pi members who know.
The meeting will begin with a Questions and Answers session followed by a short Back to Basics tutorial then a quick session of club business before our usual coffee break after which the main presentation will commence. A sandwich lunch will be served for those who are sticking around for the Mobile Lifestyle SIG, which begins immediately after the lunch break.
September's meeting will be held at our usual location, the Enterprise building, Room 178 on the George Mason University campus in Fairfax VA. Check back closer to the meeting date for any updates or changes.
We will again stream the Q&A session and main presentation on the Pi's Ustream Web page.

The Sandy Creek Parking Garage is fee-based facility. It is more convenient and closer to the meeting location. The Pi will subsidize the facility's parking fee by providing vouchers for donation request of $3.00.
If using the parking garage, park in Visitor's area; i.e., the lowest level. Take the elevator to the third floor (Campus Level), and exit along the sky bridge.
After the meeting, exit the garage using the exits marked for Validated Tickets. Your parking ticket goes in first. Then the validation ticket goes in next. If you have any problems, there is a speaker box for calling the parking lot attendant at the checkout point.
Free parking in Lot A (see map below)
Park as close to Mattaponi River Lane as possible, then walk north along that road toward the main campus buildings. The sidewalk route takes you directly to the side of Enterprise Hall, on your left. The meeting room is located on the second floor, accessible via outside stairs or via an elevator on your right as soon as you enter the building through the doors behind the outside stairs. We will endeavor to have signs posted to help guide you to the right location. It is at least a five-minute walk from Lot A and up a slight incline. We will be using a golf cart along the route, to offer rides to those who want or need a lift.
Handicapped Parking: There are three handicap parking spaces next to Enterprise Hall that can be used by members, on a first come first served basis. Have your Handicap Sticker showing on the dashboard or on the rear-view mirror.
