that's a good idea. Is it possible we could get a place which we can use
for a half or whole day?

Perhaps we could rent out lan place or someother place for a whole day
on a weekend? We may be able to get a major discount since we are lug.
They might even say 'Sure, if you pay $100 to cover the cost of our
employee & power, you can use it.' It's always worth asking.

We have a large amount of funds currently and we can always run another
installfest or simply have a $2 entry fee.

Anyway, if we decide to do this I would be happy to try and find out.

Also if we want to, I could run a secure poll, which people could use to
vote their intrest in having the 'super' meeting. I've allready got
working code for it, so it's no problem to set it up.
