Draft agenda for October GMOD meeting

Hello,

Below is a draft version of the agenda for the upcoming GMOD meeting.
First a few comments:

* Please follow up with comments and questions to the gmod-devel
mailing list, and the registered attendees will be receiving a separate
copy of this mailing.

* The agenda is somewhat loose on purpose; I want to encourage lots of
discussion and leave room for topics I haven't thought of.

* While I indicated that there would be no 'show and tell' like
previous meetings, I do think there is room for actual, working software
demos. Let me know if you have something you would like to show off.

* Details about the meeting itself:

o Information on getting to CSHL can be obtained at
http://meetings.cshl.edu/travel.html

o Upon arriving at campus, go to the basement of the Grace
Auditorium to the meetings office to register.

o Note that the meeting takes place in different rooms on Thursday
and Friday; don't show up in the wrong place on Friday.
