There's nothing exclusionary about this process. This was all discussed way back
when, and now we simply do what we did last time. I think we are all open to
suggestions/change, but we know the current location has the space we need, the power
capabilities/outlets, and internet access. We used to do the installfests at Nexus
but they got to be too large and disruptive for their store (in my opinion), and we
out-grew their capabilities in terms of power/outlets.
It is my observation that business people usually like lots of people in
their store.
Monthly installfests have also been discussed before and was determined that they
would not work well. If done monthly, then attendance is likely to be very low. If
done quarterly, or as needed, attendance is much higher. If only 5 people were to
show up, then the installfest probably isn't very productive for those 5. I think the
current target is to have 3 or 4 installfests a year.
Ok.
Another consideration is support for our sponsors. They provide us with
service/support/discounts, usually with nothing in return. So when possible its nice to be able
to say thanks by helping them gain publicity and/or sales by hosting an event at their
locations, or inviting their presence at one of our events. I don't think this has ever been
the "deciding" factor, but should (rightfully) be part of the decision. (Nexus and
VFXWeb are both sponsors of CLUG).
Sounds good. Why dont we choose a different sponsor each time we do an
installfest?
My thoughts.

Hmm, you announced that there is an install-fest, and decided details
about it. Sounds pretty exclusionary, as there was no previous discussion.

Cool, why dont we discuss a set date to have the monthly install-fest on.
