[lug] meeting space?

[Michael Deck]

The Boulder Chapter of the ACM has been having meetings at CU Engineering 
for years. We pay $15-$20 (depending on size) and we just give them a size 
range and they tell us what classroom. I don't know if it's easier for us 
because we have a corporate identity and a checking account, and can be 
billed for the cost. LUG might have to pay up front. ColoSPIN reserves in 
ACM's name and then passes the hat at the end to reimburse. We always make 
enough to cover the cookies :)

Our last meeting drew twice the expected audience and we were able to find 
another empty room and move to it with no hassle.

One restriction: no food. They want you to use CU Catering :) Rules may be 
different in the Biz school, I know that BJUG used to have pizza but I 
don't know what their arrangement was with CU.

Regents parking garage (east of Engineering, next to Coors event center) is 
where we always park. We've never been asked to pay but our meeting starts 
at 7 and is usually on a Tuesday so doesn't conflict with Football. If 
there is a really big basketball game, you need to park nearer the top. 
Once in a while I've snagged a space in the Engineering Library lot, and I 
pull in there if I need to drop off equipment, but it's very often full.

Only minor annoyance is it's hard to schedule during the first week of a 
semester because the classroom scheduling is fluid. So you have to take 
your chances or go somewhere else. In the past, our choice for 'somewhere 
else' was NIST. Until last week...
