At Montreal-Python, we are switching from a place to another at each meetup
but we are trying to have one place we are always going back and it's at
the university. We don't want to be identified as the group that is always
meeting at the google/shopify/[name your company there] offices and i think
it is also super important to change your location cause it allow you to
reach other peoples that you might now reach by staying at the same place.
And try also to diverse the kind of venues. Reaching software companies is
great, but it is important also to reach students, people from the game
industry, open data, etc...
But yeah it is super convenient to have base camp and the university gave
us this possibility and i think it is wonderful cause there is nothing more
neutral then the university !

Speaking of which, lately I've taken to spamming recruiters who contact
me
via Linkedin and elsewhere to let them know that I'm happy with my job
and
they should consider contacting chipy-organizers (or other groups as
appropriate) to see about sponsoring the group in some way. I have no
idea
if this has worked, but maybe it will one day.
I think I have it a little easier with perception with respect to project
nights and office hours that I run in that I deflect recruiters to the
user
group meetings where more recruiting activity goes on. I took a page from
one of the NYC studies group where they did something similar.
oh and natch I'm not moving my hackerspace office hours around. If I did
it
wouldn't be the same thing and someone else at the hackerspace would have
office hours.
I like the Braintree office in that they are in the Merchandise Mart. For
those of you not in Chicago, the building is connected by a walkway to a
brownline stop and it's in the loop, a 15 minute walk from the metra
stations, near by parking garages. And since it is a fancy modern
building
(these days), it has easy accessibility. I appreciate that compared to my
hackerspace -- we are in an older industrial building and have no
elevator
and people with mobility problems have trouble.
