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.

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. --
