RIP Linuxcaffe?

[Todd Howe]

I'm really going to miss it. I think I moved into the neighbourhood just after the cafe's heydey as a hub for Linux events but I credit the visibility of the Linux 'brand' there every day as the final push that inspired me to try Wubi, and finally migrate all my devices. I can't say I picked up a lot of Linux info there but it became my office when I had to be out of the house. (My wife does counselling).

These days I feel a little homeless during the day as a result oO  From the little I've pieced together, Dave got busy with his film work and he passed the baton to a younger member of his family. Despite the new habit of their playing gangsta rap mid-day, the cafe still seemed to be flourishing, so not sure what precipitated the BS 'we're temporarily renovating' signs. The comments in the BlogTO article indicate the lease has already been transferred so sadly it looks like it's the end of an era.

Are attachments allowed? I could snap a pic of what it looks like today if anyone's interested.

Nice meeting folks last night btw
