Cisco Systems' Ann Arbor office. Directions are at the bottom.
The meeting agenda:
- Welcome and Abuse of New Members
- Administrivia
- The Question Session
- `Vi Revealed' with Steve Simmons
Are you confused by vi? This talk is for you.
Do you think you know how to use vi? You're probably wrong.
This talk is for you.
Do you think emacs is better/worse than vi? We're not gonna
talk about it in terms of better worse, we're going to talk
abou the fundamental design decision that makes vi different
from emaxen. Once you know that, you're ready to know the
secret command of vi.
Yes, there's a deep dark secret inside vi, and we're gonna
tell it to you. Once you understand that secret and you have
a copy of the Secret Vi Command Chart, you'll be much better
at using vi in your day to day work. Better yet, because you
know The Secret Command, you'll find it very easy to get better
and better on your own.

Ideally, we should arrive at ABC before 22:00, in order to have
the greatest number of menu options. ABC is located at 114
E. Washington Street, downtown Ann Arbor, half a block east of Main.
Please send topic suggestions and speaker recommendations to
The Moderators.
Directions:
Cisco Systems' Ann Arbor office is located in the upper floors of:
Key Bank
100 S. Main St.
Ann Arbor, MI 48104
This is the intersection of Main and Huron in downtown Ann Arbor,
about half a block north of the old Cisco office. Use the rear
entrance; trying to gain entry at the front door would not be a good
idea.
Getting to Downtown Ann Arbor: From M-14, take Main St. exit;
from US-23 take Washtenaw, which turns into Huron; from I-94 east of
town take Ann Arbor-Saline Rd. which turns into Main St.; from I-94 west
of town take Jackson Rd. which turns into Huron.
A map is available at http://www.semislug.mi.org/directions/
