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>

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 it! :)

<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>
