The person who sponsored the group is not long at MIT. Martin has the full details, he sent an e-mail out earlier saying the following: </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> "Steve Pomeroy was our sponsor at the MIT Media Lab, he allowed us to book rooms for both our meeting and some of our "Installfests" we had last year. But he has just gotten a new job across the road and is no longer in that privileged position to be able to organise such space. I also get the feeling that Steve is busy doing his own research activities and so can't really play as big of a role in the group as he might have wanted. So, we managed to get emergency space at MIT Media Lab for our last meeting on Steve's last day. The primary focus of that meeting was finding new space. Many of the action items are related there for to that task and thus people who agreed to look stuff up have been reporting back with their findings. Hopefully this clears stuff up." </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE>   </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> <BLOCKQUOTE> BLU doesn't have any rights to schedule rooms for other groups, but I could ask the scheduling people if there's a process for new user groups to register in order to be allowed to hold meetings there. -- John Abreau / Executive Director, Boston Linux & Unix AIM abreauj / JABBER <A HREF="mailto:jabr@jabber.blu.org">jabr@jabber.blu.org</A> / YAHOO abreauj / SKYPE zusa_it_mgr Email <A HREF="mailto:jabr@blu.org">jabr@blu.org</A> / WWW <A HREF="http://www.abreau.net">http://www.abreau.net</A> / PGP-Key-ID 0xD5C7B5D9 PGP-Key-Fingerprint 72 FB 39 4F 3C 3B D6 5B E0 C8 5A 6E F1 2C BE 99 -- </BLOCKQUOTE> </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> <BLOCKQUOTE> </BLOCKQUOTE> </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> <BLOCKQUOTE> Ubuntu-us-ma mailing list <A HREF="mailto:Ubuntu-us-ma@lists.ubuntu.com">Ubuntu-us-ma@lists.ubuntu.com</A> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <A HREF="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-ma">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-ma</A> </BLOCKQUOTE> </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> -- Mick Timony --- Ever tried.
