It appears that yorkbutterfactory.com is available on the 23rd May But not the Saturday before. Can we nail down some details so I can send him information? Probably best to create the Meetup Page for the event before hand. Guy I spoke to seemed to want that. I'm happy to make the Meetup page happen if I have the info needed. I'm sure it'll take little more than an hour to write up something snazzy. Scott On Mon, Mar 9, 2015 at 5:18 PM, Ben Finney <ben+freesoftware@benfinney.id.au

Failing that, what about the room in Building 91 at RMIT? Is that not appropriate?
We are rapidly losing legitimate access to that room. We want to find a new place to hold meetings.
In the past several members had continual emplyer-related access to RMIT building 91's training room. But changes in office locations have now resulted in almost none of our members with a justification to have security access there.
We have not (yet) been told that our access will be revoked. But it's clear that we are relying on the generosity of our hosts and perhaps their leniency in Enforcing overlooking their own security policies. That's not a situation we can in good conscience rely on.
What locations can members suggest for our general meetings?
Requirements, in my opinion:
* Central (CBD if possible), for ensuring most people have the ability to get there.
* Inexpensive, preferably no fee, for our group to use.
* Available when some of our committee can't attend — no reliance on any one person to show up.
* Available on a weeknight once per month, and for irregular events at other times.
Good to have:
* Power cables for computers.
* Internet access via 802.11 wi-fi for our members, including people who haven't declared they will attend.
* Overhead projector with cables to connect for presentations.
* Management friendly to software freedom: this would be a bonus because they might have a representitive join us, and we would have some assurance they will like the meetings to continue.
