Also, the Douglass branch of the CPL has a couple of meetings rooms as well, and if a central location is a determining factor, we could look into meeting there once or twice a month.

EDIT: At no cost

I would love to use that space! My only proviso is that I think it's much more effective to have a single space that we meet week after week to build momentum. Changing spaces every week potentially makes it harder for people to find us.

I'm not in favor of a 2nd night/space until we have our logistics better worked out. I have to nudge, hassle, and ask people just to get ONE night's food going. Like this week...

sanford, i stated that i was able to head up the parkland location and believe gordon offered to help also. it looks like jenny is going to run the ew one so i think the logistics piece is being taken off your plate unless you still want to have some role in it. i believe the only coordination going forward is what days to have them so they dont conflict. plus, i think this starts a good process of how to jumpstart other locations that want to have a hack night. unless i am totally mistaken and there should only be one hack night centralized in one location, which if so contradicts the notion of what we are even doing here in the first place if simply for the sake of logistics or convenience.

I still worry about losing critical mass, but in the spirit of experimentation I would support it as a second choice in a vote.

Let's try the polling mechanism of loomio. We can try a couple of scenarios.
