I'm sure we can get guest speakers if we tried.  But we're booked up
for meeting topics until something like November and people seem
pretty happy with that.  We're not starving for content.

UW (namely the CSC and CS faculty) bring in speakers who are relevant
to our community.  Heck, they brought in RMS twice in the last few
years.  It might be easier to partner with a group like the CSC to
bring in speakers of interest to our members and theirs outside our
regular meetings.  (And space wouldn't be an issue in that case, as
the CSC can easily book rooms at UW).
