Great point, Peter. Choosing names like these now don't really bring value and are more likely to be confusing or alienating members before they even join. If you're going with "fun" names, they should come from your membership, not the people in this google group who are unlikely to ever use the rooms.
That said, a couple of ideas based on things I've seen. Directions - our conference rooms are "north" and "south". Member/sponsor names - you can use these names as a way to raise money, allowing early members or sponsors to have the room named after them for a (probably significant) contributions. Functions - does the room have a special feature or utility? Name it that. -- /ah indyhall.org coworking in philadelphia On Sunday, June 17, 2012 at 12:07 PM, [email protected] wrote: > Remember if you get to cheesy with it, it won't be funny.
