[SoCoSA/discuss] Request for Comment: when and where shouldSoCoSA meet now?

[butscher at pacbell.net]

I know I am new to the group but Thursday evening at O'Reilly sounds good to 
me. I thought about the library also, so I called the Sebastopol Library. 
They don't allow routine use of their conference room, even if it is once a 
month! Another restriction is opening the meeting to the public.

Thanks,

Brian
