[sf-lug] Other locations

[jim]

   i like the idea of another venue, perhaps one 
meeting at javacat and one meeting at the other
venue. 
   i'm hoping that we go cautiously toward that 
goal: have an extra meeting, perhaps each month, 
to see what the other venues are really like 
(parking, food, beer, ambience, etc.). when we 
find one we really like, we can make it a keeper 
and announce the change on the mailing list and 
on the web site. that seems to minimize the risk 
that someone might come to javacat on a regularly 
scheduled meeting and find no one else there. 
   seems good to use your (asheesh') training 
session as a reason for an extra meeting at some 
other location (and openmoko, HVLC, St. Anthony's, 
KIPP, Asterisk, and other topics could also serve 
as a draw for an extra meeting at different 
locations.
