Another factor to consider is a question of demographics of participants. If we are looking at a seniors' club, then parking is going to be more important and perhaps not too late. If we are looking at a students' club, then centrallity and transit are going to be important since fewer youth are placing the value in owning motor vehicles in the last 5-10 years than the 50 before that, which is partly due to the disruptive technologies we meet to discuss. Perhaps I am nostalgic for societies that value intergenerational collaboration, but I think it makes sense to make an effort to accomodate both in this particular area of interest. Does it make sense to restrict ourselves to Linux specific topics, or open source software (and perhaps hardware?) in general? > I was once involved with the Board, and could be persuaded once again > if the survival of the group demanded help.
