If the KCLUG is looking for a place to move it's meeting to my boss has mentioned several times about the possibility of having the KCLUG meeting in our conference room.  I know I don't go to the meetings (like once I went) but, we have a large conference room that would hold at least 40 people.  It has a big screen plasma TV for connecting to a laptop, WIFI access as well as a complete demo center with Blades running VMWare that we could do fun things with (since I am in charge of the demo center).  I also have a large cell-based HP server, a SAN and fiber fabric in our demo center that we could play around with.  Our office is right off the Cambridge Circle exit on I-35 near downtown with tons of parking right at the front door and plenty of places to go after the meeting down the hill on SW Blvd.  If the KCLUG is serious about changing where they hold the meetings let me know and I will make the conference room available whenever you want it.
 
Currently in our demo center we are running everything from HP-UX, RHEL, W2K3 and VMWare.  We could do a lot with the toys in my sandbox here.

...insert KCLug Microsoft Server joke....

Well, he sent it before the meeting, but hadn't synchronized his Outlook with the KCLug Exchange server until just now.

I am sitting at Paul & Jacks in North Kansas City.  They now have
Wi-fi!  I tested it and got 5M down and 500K up, so it's a very good
connection.  They have food and drinks including beer!  They are open
until at least 10:00 p.m., but are willing to stay open longer if we
have enough people.  They also have a back room that will seat at least
16 people at the table.

I'm thinking we should consider moving our meeting here.  It's a nice
place with a fast internet connection, and did I mention that they serve

beer!  Not to mention the killer tenderloin and awesome chili.

We can discuss at tomorrow's meeting.

Peace,
Jim
