I recall attending a few meetings at Fuller before it moved briefly to
some other place (was it Mandrake?) before moving to the two locations
at Caltech but don't have any notes on what happened when.

As for the website reorg, I'd like to see a list of past, planned and
requested topics.  I think it would give people a better idea of the
group in terms of where we've been, where we are now, and where we
plan to be topic wise.  It might give potential speakers an idea of
the audience and what kinds of topics were given.
