Be that as it may, I would rather not pitch the two events against each other unless it is absolutely necessary. People may mistakenly think that we did it on purpose, and if we met in MadLab then certain people may feel uncomfortable (I know that using Arcspace on that day would be easy).
I would rather postpone than risk upsetting anyone. That means a meeting the same week as the JACK talk, or delaying two weeks until the first week of April
Thoughts?

anyone free on the Thursday? I know arcspace is open then
paypall are appalling! One of our customers put in our email into paypall to see if we have an account (we dont) and they said we do have an account, took her money, then emailed us to tell us we could claim our money if we set up an account!!
agh!!!

Yes - I can see that running an event on the same day as MFS would not be very diplomatic (I think I undestand a little more about the intergroup dynamics now).

I'm fine with either. We could always kick things off online to start with. Maybe use a shared space on dropbox to exchange code examples (if dropbox usage doesn't conflict with anyone's principles).

I would like that :) WHo else agrees?

Sounds good to me! I do have an issue with Dropbox*, but we can use FSFE's etherpad server, or even the wiki if necessary. I can't foresee the need to send large files to oneanother, but there are Free Software solutions for that too.
Thursday afternoon or evening, up to 19.45 is OK for me. We need to get the server back up and running before then though; I should be able to just pop round one day next week and put in the password.
Thanks,
Sam.

I think this would be a great idea - any one else in? I can do thurs at 7.45pm too :)

I guessed there would be an objection to dropbox - just as there would be to using googlegroups & google docs, microsoft skydrive, or yahoogroups (all of which I've used, over the years, for collaborative stuff). I'm certainly open to suggestions.
As for meeting times - I do have to travel from Huddrsfield. I can usually get to MadLab (by car & tram) by about 5.30pm - but I have no idea about times to Arcspace during rush-hour.
BTW, I'm getting replies to pings - so i guess the server has power (and all I'm seeing is the network card?) ;-)

It looks like arcspace is a 10 minute walk from Deansgate tram stop - is that so?
No probs for me, if it is, as I'll just leave my car at Prestwich park & ride like normal.

not sure about walk, but could come in person on Thursday too - is anyone else up for this?
