NEW TEMPORARY LOCATION: Free/Open Source Software Stammtisch on Tues (12/16)

[Eric Oyen]

sounds like the new owner of the old stamtisch meeting place just shot themselves in the foot. Seriously, it sounds like you were spending money there anyway and he wanted more. well, now he has none.

is the new location accessible by bus or light rail?
