He is open to having oclug meetings in his space.
246 Queen St. near Kent
excellent location very close to transitway downtown.
My opinion re: which evening: oclug was tolerating the changing evenings because the
venue is 1) free 2) good (with projector, large rooms, on transitway, etc). However
it had the extra benefit that people with unchanging commitments on Tuesdays or
Thursdays could make it out to some meetings. I agree that changing the day every
semester is too much (not sure we ever did that), but changing once a year is ok.
