I've begun to realise there is a bit of a horse and cart problem here.
No one wants to fund us until they see it all planned out, but it
appears people aren't really willing to start planning if they aren't
sure it's going to happen. A suggestion brought up on IRC the other
night by James (bejames) was to hold it at just a normal Brisbane City
Council library instead of at The Edge. According to their website [0]
it would appear they offer conference rooms for free for community
groups.

There are downsides to this as well as positives so I wanted to run
the idea past the team before committing one way or another. Anyone
have any thoughts one way or the other?
