Classroom space

[Colin McGregor]

>From time to time there is talk on these lists by people who says
something like "I would really like to do a workshop on X, but I don't
know about a suitable space", where X can be clustering or MythTV or
whatever... Well, let me note a possible option....

Last night I gave what I gather to be the first talk at FreeGeek
Toronto, a group that is recycling old PC. My talk was a recycled
version of the introductory talk that I have given at some of the
PlanetGeek (a computer recycling group older and independent of
FreeGeek Toronto) computer give aways. FreeGeek Toronto has set-up a
little classroom area in a corner of the small warehouse that they use
to refurbish old PCs. That classroom area can be made available for
other people / groups that would be interested in doing presentations.
As I understand things, if the presentation is free to attend the
space is available for free, if there is a fee for the presentation
then FreeGeek will want some $...

Beyond that:

- The classroom space is modest (expect 6 people comfortably and a max
of about 10 people)
- The location is near Keele and Dundas with free parking.
- There are computers available (running Ubuntu Linux) and an internet
connection.
- At present there is no video projector in the classroom, but there
is a 20" CRT monitor and a projector has been ordered (not sure when
it will arrive, but I gather it will be fairly soon)...

I would be happy to forward on contact details to anyone who is interested.
