Just speaking out loud for myself here, but why would we want to 
inconvenience people on a regular basis?  If the East Side has 50 
regular attenders 40 of which live with 15 minutes of the meeting why 
would you want to move the meeting?  Bigger isn't necessarily better.  I 
have a hard time believing that the West Valley doesn't have Linux 
users.  I certainly vote to not move the East Side Meeting.  It is right 
off the freeway and with the East Valley going further and further East 
it is now almost Central anyhow.

Perhaps PLUG as a whole could do some events to lure new people into the 
community on the West Side?

My Two Cents...
