I also get<br> the feeling that Steve is busy doing his own research activities and so<br> can't really play as big of a role in the group as he might have wanted.<br> <br> So, we managed to get emergency space at MIT Media Lab for our last<br> meeting on Steve's last day. The primary focus of that meeting was<br> finding new space. Many of the action items are related there for to<br> that task and thus people who agreed to look stuff up have been<br> reporting back with their findings.<br> <br> Hopefully this clears stuff up."<br></div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><br> <br> BLU doesn't have any rights to schedule rooms for other groups, but<br> I could ask the scheduling people if there's a process for new user groups<br> to register in order to be allowed to hold meetings there.<br> <br> <br> <br> --<br> John Abreau / Executive Director, Boston Linux & Unix<br> AIM abreauj / JABBER <a href="mailto:jabr@jabber.blu.org">jabr@jabber.blu.org</a> / YAHOO abreauj / SKYPE zusa_it_mgr<br> Email <a href="mailto:jabr@blu.org">jabr@blu.org</a> / WWW <a href="http://www.abreau.net" target="_blank">http://www.abreau.net</a> / PGP-Key-ID 0xD5C7B5D9<br> PGP-Key-Fingerprint 72 FB 39 4F 3C 3B D6 5B E0 C8 5A 6E F1 2C BE 99<br> <font color="#888888"><br> --<br> </font><div><div></div><div class="h5">Ubuntu-us-ma mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:Ubuntu-us-ma@lists.ubuntu.com">Ubuntu-us-ma@lists.ubuntu.com</a><br> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-ma" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-ma</a><br> </div></div></blockquote></div><br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Mick Timony<br>---<br>Ever tried.
