Data Mining Camp planning

Meeting location:  The address for the building for Rosie McCann’s says it is on Santana Row, but the only entrance to the restaurant is on Plazza De Valencia.  See this Google Map link.  Free WiFi is available, bring your smart phone, pad or device as desired.  I will share some Google doc notes.
