Hi, Derek

I enjoyed having meetings at GCC and I'd really like for them to
continue. But... I don't think that there's enough demand or supporters
to have two meetings at the same time in the same part of town.

The big problem from my perspective is that the active Mesa PLUG members
are in the East valley. Coming "way out here" tends to be a hassle for
presenters.

If there's interest - as in people willing to help out - I'd like to
continue. I think we'd need to pretty much duplicate what East-siders
have going: presentation coordinator, swag-gatherer, web-presence
maintainer(?). I'm willing to schedule space and try to improve the
conditions (net access, more reliable access to projector etc.) if
others will help too.

I willing to try.
