[Steering Committee] Feb 2009 evals

[Jason Lee]

I agree with Brett.  I would LOVE! to see something on Scala, because  
I'm too lazy to go do the reading myself.  The Android presentation  
was arguably less practical than one on Scala, but was, as we saw,  
*very* popular.  It's fun, sometimes... nay! a lot of the time!  to  
take a break from the day-to-day job-related technology and look at  
what we could be using.  That said, an annotation presentation would  
be interesting as well, but I prefer the former topic. :P

Either way, Mitch, I'm going to sign you up for February.  You choose  
the topic and run with it. :)
