Donna,
Consider connecting with computer science faculty at a local community
college. They often have free access to unscheduled facilities when
the
general public does not. Partnering with faculty can also drive up
interest
with students.
As an adjunct professor at the College of Santa Fe, I have free use
of a
mega-classroom (~125 seats) and four 20-seat computer labs, all with
projection equipment. CSF-Albuquerque focuses on evening and weekend
classes, so daytime use is easily worked out. Then again, I may be
incredibly fortunate to have such a cool benefit from CSF.
(BTW, look for an ABQ Sprint next year to take advantage of CSF
space as
well.)
Great! Maybe we could organize a marketing sprint?
Also, some public libraries have available public meeting space for
groups your size.
Yes, after several unsuccessful attempts to find space in Boston, we
found a library just around the corner which had a multipurpose room
that could seat 100. And it was free!
So definitely check with the libraries in your area as they often have
these facilities available for public use at no cost.

Best of luck,
Karl

It's difficult to find free space in this area. Google wasn't
willing to
provide a space and most universities I contacted (believe it or not)
wanted
to charge an hourly rate for the event. The other thing I realized
is we
(the Plonista's in this area) really need to get out there and
promote the
living daylights out of Plone. We are not as "Plone" friendly in
this area
(unlike some of our European counterparts). So next year we start
earlier
and I try harder to find a location that is free (or very low cost).
