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.
My suggestion for the requirements for the perfect meeting location:
A public space (open to the public) An elevator, if on a floor other than the 1st Open 'ail 1AM T1+ Public Wifi Is clean Has a projector or large screen seats 25 + equipment free parking Located right off a major highway Located equally inconvenient to everyone (as Hal has said)
I like meeting in a public location. Meeting in a place of business seems to have a few problems. If it's a tech business, you usually need a person to vouch for the group, and any random person that decides to visit. I don't want the group to get a bad name because someone did something bad while we were there. Pubs/Coffee places can be a problem because mixing food or drink or smoke and electronics doesn't always turn out well. I would be hesitant to bring electronics to a pub because of the cleanliness factor. Parking always seems to come up. I, personally, haven't had any problems with it. If I can't find a parking spot right next to the building, I can always find one within a block or so.
