Call me biased, but I thought the installfest meeting went well, and the
GTA-lug exec meetings seem to work out nicely. For really large groups
another venue would have to be found, true, but for smaller gatherings I
think it's just peachy !

linuxcaffe is 1 block from Christie subway, 10 feet from a bus stop, and
offers a reasonable amount of parking.. in what way might access be
improved upon ? valet parking, perhaps ? a helipad ?

Is GTA-lug not targeted towards those in the GTA ?
Folks who live in outlying communities (although more than welcome)
might find (or found) a local lug rather than hit the highways.

Not trying to be quarellous, but looking for ways to serve the linux
community better.
