Paying for LUG Meeting Space?
Johann asks: "Our LUG has been fortunate to hold meetings for the past two years in a corporate-sponsored basement auditorium. The sponsor pays for us to use this room, which seats around 50-60 comfortably. We normally fill the room. We have an offer to move to a meeting room in a Radisson hotel at a highly-reduced rate. This room has many advantages over our current 'free' one, such as better handicapped and after-hours access, internet connectivity, better temperature control, and room for more people. The only problem: the members likely will have to bear the costs of this room ourselves. So, my question to other LUGs: Are you paying for your meeting space? If so, by what means? Donations? Sponsors? Passing-the-Hat? How have the members taken to paying for space?"
Even more ironic, since the user group's acronym is CLUE.
Mostly because this is one of the corner stones in the "movement".
Stones in your movements could indicate serious health problems. You should see your doctor immediately.
If your local CS department won't let you use some of their space, then you must be in Waterloo.
