I don't know anything whatsoever about ventilation in the meeting room. The building got an extensive remodel, but re-opened right before the pandemic. In fact, my last public event before the "stay-at-home" entreaties was in one of the ground floor meeting rooms. So, anything learned during the pandemic was probably not factored into that remodel. I don't know if/what has happened since.
I stole the masking language from the last meeting, which seem prudent. Full disclosure: I recently had covid. I was fully (5 times) vaccinated. I was exposed on February 8. I started having symptoms on February 10. The symptoms weren't pleasant but remained pretty mild. Started testing positive on Feb 12, had pretty much recovered by February 15th, but continued testing positive until my first negative test on February 20. I tested negative again on the 21st, 22nd, and 25th. The CDC says I'm safe to go unmasked in public, but, you know, use your own judgement. -- Russell Senior russ...@personaltelco.net On Sun, Feb 26, 2023 at 5:13 PM Denis Heidtmann <denis.heidtm...@gmail.com> wrote: > What is known about the ventilation system in that room? > > -Denis > > On Sun, Feb 26, 2023 at 4:03 PM Russell Senior <russ...@personaltelco.net> > wrote: > > > Portland Linux/Unix Group General Meeting Announcement > > > > Who: Russell Senior > > What: Report on the (bumpy) PLUG hosting transition > > Where: Portland Building, Room 216, 1120 SW 5th Avenue, Portland, OR > 97204 > > (main entrance is on 5th Avenue) > > When: Thursday, March 2nd, 2023 at 7pm (doors open at 6:30pm) > > Why: The pursuit of technology freedom > > > > This month, at Michael Dexter's invitation, Russell (me) has arranged to > > try out a venue in the City of Portland's Portland Building downtown.
