If Boston.com is not available I do have access to rooms near the T. However they are normal conference room size - fitting more than 15 or maybe 20 would be difficult.
However, given the usual meeting time, there is a good chance I'd be
able to secure a class/lecture room here at Boston University which
could handle 25-30 people at least and probably 50 at standing capacity.
There would, of course, be no pizza or beverages (other than maybe
water) provided though.
Ronald, please let me know if I should pursue this, either for our next
meeting or for potential longer term use.
