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...
