Cool! Both topics sound interesting and you're very welcome to join us! I'd suggest to have your talk before the official meeting (maybe 19:30?) because our meetings get lengthy sometimes and this seems like a better option to me. What do you brmlabers think?
I think it would be best to give the talks either *much* earlier before the meeting, e.g. 17:00, or do it on another day. Another possibility is to just declare that the meetup is cancelled at that week and instead we are gonna have a great guest lecture!
(Rationale: We tried it once with the ASRG talk and it did not work very well. On Tuesdays, we get many visitors who want to visit brmlab and look around, and also usually the talk start slips a bit, they get longer and many Q&A, etc., and people waiting for the regular meetup get nervous.)
