[sf-lug] [PYCLASS] Jan 12 6:30 PM: Chapter 11

[jim]

   alex kleider, our other PyClass leader, suggests 
we take a little time each time we meet to review, 
probably starting with chapter 1 or maybe chapters 
1 and 2, partly as a way to help people join us, 
partly because it'd be good for us. 
   sounds good to me.
