[RLUG] Re: [RLUG-Announce] Reno Linux Users Group January 2006 Meeting Announcement

[Sebastian Smith]

Orrin,

We're still meeting on campus.  The buses have turned out to be an ideal 
solution to the campus parking issue.  Parking in the Circus Circus 
parking structure is free, and the buses pickup and drop-off right in 
front of the parking structure.  There are many other benefits to meeting 
on campus as well, like Colin King of the Association of Computing 
Machinery UNR Student Chapter reserving rooms and equipment for us at a 
moments notice.  Since UNR is a dependable hosting environment -- we don't 
have to worry about facilities each month -- I don't forsee a change in 
the meeting location in the near future.

If anyone has suggestions though, I'm all ears.

- Sebastian
