By the way, that "huge" room,
is called the Eagle Room.
Just "FYI".

OK, thank you for updating the PLUG web site
with the "*temporary location*".
You might want to also "consider" what the web
site should say about the start / end times.
The library (whole building) closes at 21:00
-- "shut tight as the door of a full flight at PHX
where they have already bumped some of the
passengers who had reservations" --
...so, it is misleading to leave the "22:00" there.
As far as, the *start* time, I realize that we may be
trying to avoid inconveniencing those who do not
get off work until a certain time...
so maybe leaving 19:00 is appropriate.
But maybe we should at least "mention" that the
room is reserved starting at 18:00, so just in case
anyone (e.g., students or teachers off for summer
vacation, retired Pluggers, unemployed hackers
^H^H^H^H programmers, etc.) "happens" to be in
the area, or otherwise "could" get there early, then
the "official" program might not have started yet,
but the guests are welcome to start taking their
places in the room, -- and maybe, start taking aim
-- so they can "shoot the breeze".
Just an idea...
> We also need it for next month if possible.
As of the last time I checked (circa July 6) (when I made the resv. for July
22), both the large room (Eagle) and the medium-size room (Hummingbird,
which we used in June 2009) were already "booked" for the 4th Wed. of Aug.,
so ...
Maybe ACAA will be available by then?
if not, then
would we consider making a one-time change to the
custom of having the W side meeting on the "4th Wed. of the month" -- ?
just wondering.
> Does the huge room have a projector?
I don't know.
But if not, then I might be able to borrow one -- from a guy I know who has
taught several ("non credit") classes that I have taken, and has showed
[during class] both slides and videos, using a projector that was hooked up
to a laptop PC (running an OS that was, um, not Gnu/Linux, and not even BSD
based...).
See ya!
