As far as I know now, either date, or even both days for a two-day 
meeting, is/are fine.

I'm not much of a Gambit user, but I'm interested in its development.
I implemented Lisp twice in the 60's, and have always admired it.

The content remains to be determined but I can imagine some more-or-less formal presentations by me and attendants, brainstorming sessions and maybe some hacking on Gambit.  To maximize attendance the meeting will be on a weekend, probably in September or October.
