>About the venue, it was decided that a few of us will meet the
authorities at SXCS >after the 4th of August to try and convince them to give
us the Hall at a discount. >Operational details re the required telephone
line will be handled by Partho and Inigo
>provided we get the Hall. The other alternative to the Hall is theAudio Visual Room, >which will definitely be cheaper, but will be a lot more limited than the Hall. The AV room does have some advantages: it has a PC, with a modem and
a dedicated phone line. The OHP etc (for Thaths) are also there. It
can seat upto about a hundred. On the negative side, one has to climb upto
the 4th floor.
The Hall has highly unaesthetic looking plastic chairs. Getting
temporary phone lines in would be not easy. Also, it has a seating
capability of 600+ -- unless you get participation in the range of
several hundred, it will look very empty (in photographs, etc), and will not be
worth the money.
Personally, I'd vote for the AV room. Unfortunately, I might be out
of town that week, upto Sun morn.
