Not neccessarily. It can be kept informal. I could offer to pay for
the location directly for a month or two or whatever. Then someone
else does it after that. Or we all write a cheque upfront now to the
meeting location and get it done with for the year. <br>
<br>
Certainly I'd keep it open as an option; if there's no incorporation
going on then I think this could be a potentially easy though
temporary fix. <br>

Glen, Khalid, thanks for the generous offers and let me put my support
forward as well.
The group isn't set up to take money and once it does it becomes a more
costly organization in both real dollars and additional effort. It's a big
jump. As soon as we take $1 it means several thousand in incorporation and
a thousand per year or so in accounting charges.
There is also the "obligation" of the group to sponsors, like Khalid
mentioned. Microsoft would surely kick in money if we asked, but is that
what we want?
I'd say let some time pass to see if other options arise. If not then
let's ask for sponsors to contribute a location, not money.
I would have offered my conference room but it's too small for the group.
