As it was stated previously in this thread, there is no single location
that will please everyone. Ottawa-Gatineau is a large area. I think that
the closer we are from downtown, the less likely we are to loose
participants because of a long distance to travel. 

At this point,, and it is *my* opinion, I think we should pick something
that will:
1- not have expensive costs to OCLUG
2- be *as available as possible* to a larger number of users

Another idea, is that we pick locations in different places, sometime
more on the west, sometime more on the east of Ottawa. But I realize
this requires more time and efforts from the board, managing each
meeting location individually.

Then you alienate people in the east end and centretown. Travelling to
Algonquin from Gatineau is going to take me ~1 hour, each way, IF I
catch
my connections. Heading downtown is 25 minutes at most. That's what not
to
like.
