I was thinking about it, however having talked to various people
who were interested all of them are not going due to its location,
so postponing till we can find a better location might be a
sensible idea. If only 2 or 3 people are able to make it i suspect
there isn't much point. Who else is defiantly able to go?<br>

Although I made a fuss about the location, and by the sounds of it
others agreed with me. I can get to the meeting and do intend to go
there.<br>
In fact I just came back to my computer to check my email and post a
message asking if we were still agreed on meeting tonight.<br>
<br>
Can I just make one point here, which is more for the future Our
purpose in meeting isn't to go for a social outing it is to discuss
setting up the Hackspace. Therefore we don't actually need to meet
in a pub. If we did delay tonight it might still be to late to
arrange things. but we could find one of the regular meeting rooms
like the Friends Meeting House. Yes there is a charge to use such
places but if we all chipped in I am sure that it would be less than
the amount that we pay for drinks anyway.<br>
<br>
Can we please have a quick decision on what is happening tonight so
that we know what it is that we are doing?<br>

Did anyone try asking the Rhyddings pub in
Brynmill? They usually seem fine with little
gatherings. No Wi-Fi that I know of, but we can
tether I'm sure.<br>

I wouldn't be happy if anyone
felt excluded from the meeting
just because of the location. It
was just the first suggestion
that was made - if anybody has a
better alternative, let's hear

<pre>Assuming you actually mean the one in Tallwyn then its about 20 minutes

I must protest strongly
at the SILLY decision to
hold the meeting at
such a crazily
inaccessible location.<br>
It isn't in Swansea
proper but as the name
says HALF WAY to NEATH.<br>
<br>
Now we find that Alan
Cox who is a world
famous figure in the
Open Source movement
and who would be an
asset to<br>
the group cannot attend!<span

This means, to put it
clearly, that the modern
internet as it exists
today, google etc. Is
crucially reliant on his
work over the years in
order to function.<br>
<br>
I myself am doubtful
about it because of the
poor access. WE MUST
organise this to work
around central Swansea
locations.<br>
My concern is if you
start biasing it away
from people without
transport then we might
find that the Hackspace
itself is placed at an
inaccessible location<br>
and that it will fail as
a result.<br>
<br>
Please please can we not
assume that everyone has
car transport and
arrange things near
motorways so that those
with cars and not
inconvenienced for a few
minutes extra driving
and those without cars
have to spend an hour
more travelling because
of the vagaries of the
transport system or are
put off because they<br>
don't want to be
travelling back on late
buses full of drunks.<br>
<br>
I myself live in Neath
and the last train is at
around 10:30<br>
