[kwlug-disc] I found a decent space for us if we want it.

[Chamunks]

Well if we do this at the Boemher Box location next to Google I would want
at least three of us to have biometrics access to the building so that if
I'm not able to host at least one of two other people should be available
to unlock and lock up.  So far I'd imagine that'd be Myself, Paul and I
would assume maybe Andrew as he seems to be at most of the meetings.  I'm
thinking that I might be able to squeeze one other finger into the
biometrics system but it seems that these people are pretty receptive to us
being there but kind of hard to nail down for an official meeting unless
you just stop by the space and find them.
