[SGVLUG] URGENT: We are losing Downs 107

[Lan Dang]

Hi all,

Thanks to Junaid's diligence with room reservations and the forbearance of the PMA Division, we had been able to continue meeting at Downs 107.  However, that is coming to an end.  We may continue meeting there in November and December, but we need to find a new place in January.

According to university policy, since this is a non-Caltech group, we need a department or division sponsor to continue meeting at Caltech. 

I've been trying very hard this past year to make sure we have a place to meet and presenters each month.  I've been through this search three times already and it comes down to:

* Become a Caltech group
* Find a Caltech sponsor
* Try to reserve a Pasadena Pulbic Library meeting room (Hastings Branch or Central Library)
* Find a Pasadena City College sponsor
* Find a member who has a workplace willing to host meetings after hours.
* Charge a fee so we can rent a meeting place
* Change our meeting time to make it easier to find a meeting place.

The LUG has a presentation format. We need a place that has a projector and seating and  is quiet enough for the speaker to be heard.  Also, a place with free wifi is preferred.  Thursdays from 7-9pm has worked for a number of years.  

This is a time for action.  Two months passes by pretty quickly.   I don't feel comfortable trying to line up more speakers when I don't know when and where we will be meeting.

Lan
