Thanks for the links and recommendations - will find a spot with least
clashes and tyr again!


Aaron - i decided to not even go into the meetup.com discussion. The reason
to ask the question in the first place was to find out the chances that the
organizing could move over to it. As there are plenty of people disliking
that idea, that won't happen, yet the page itself will stay as a mirror and
a means for people to discover the meetup.
